2009 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · YH09 KDN

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear and electrical instability. The most recent test in July 2023 at 129,454 miles identified only a minor defect regarding the offside front track rod end ball joint. This represents an improvement compared to the June 2022 inspection, which flagged multiple issues including electrical faults and brake system concerns. While the vehicle passed its latest MOT, the history suggests components are beginning to require attention as they age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 14,037 miles recorded between June 2021 and June 2022, followed by another 7,379-mile interval before the July 2023 test. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting, though the total of nearly 130,000 miles puts significant strain on rubber-based suspension components and drivetrain parts typical of the heavy Chrysler Voyager. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and underbody. The 2022 test noted corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease, which often indicates previous attempts to hide structural degradation or fluid leaks. Given that the parking brake effort only met the minimum legal requirement during that same test, the cables and adjustment mechanism should be checked for fraying or over-adjustment wear. Furthermore, the appearance of electrical fault lights and tyre pressure monitoring warnings in 2022 suggests potential wiring loom issues or sensor failures that could lead to recurring MOT failures.
