2010 Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8L Diesel · YX10 SYG

Recurring issues with suspension components, tyre wear, and braking efficiency define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 28 May 2026. While the latest test was a pass, the record shows a persistent pattern of failures and advisories relating to steering and suspension linkages, alongside repeated issues with tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. The presence of an ongoing oil leak advisory and recent failures regarding the electronic stability control warning lamp and rear stop lamp indicates that while immediate safety failures are being addressed, several mechanical and electrical concerns remain present in the vehicle's recent history. The vehicle has covered 182,891 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,431 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-term road use for a vehicle of this age and type. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that consumables such as suspension bushes, tyres, and braking components will be subject to regular wear, which is reflected in the frequent advisories regarding ball joints, anti-roll bar linkages, and tyre condition recorded across multiple testing cycles. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and steering systems during a test drive. The MOT history specifically flags wear in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint and both nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins or bushes. On the road, these defects often manifest as knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and may result in imprecise steering response. Additionally, the recent advisory regarding an oil leak should be inspected closely; look for visible fluid pooling under the engine bay or heavy oil staining on the underside of the chassis to determine if the leak is progressing. Braking and tyre health also require scrutiny. Previous tests have noted imbalanced front brakes and a binding nearside front service brake, so a test drive should include several controlled stops to check for pedal judder, pulling to one side, or unusual grinding noises. The recurring advisories for worn or damaged tyres, specifically noting edge wear and cracking, suggest that the wheel alignment may require checking to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. Finally, ensure that the electronic stability control system is fully operational and that all exterior lighting, particularly the rear stop lamps, is functioning correctly following the recent major failures.
