2012 Chrysler GRD Voyager Touring CRD A 2.8L Diesel · YX61 VMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 126,879 miles, this followed a significant failure in October 2024. The trend appears unstable as the vehicle has moved from major structural and suspension failures to a marginal pass, though the presence of oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber in the latest test suggests the previous repair or replacement is already beginning to fail again. At 126,879 miles over 14 years, the Voyager averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a family MPV of this age. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between January 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,200 miles leading up to the final MOT. This regularity suggests the vehicle is driven regularly rather than standing, which helps prevent internal corrosion but accelerates the natural wear of components on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills to ensure the structural repairs made after the October 2024 failure are not merely cosmetic. The previously recorded corrosion that significantly reduced the rigidity of the nearside sills is a critical safety concern that requires verification of welding quality. You should also inspect the nearside front shock absorber for active fluid leaks, as the misting noted in late 2025 indicates the seal is nearing failure. The braking system also warrants attention due to recurring issues, including a binding rear brake in 2024 and corroded brake hose ferrules in 2023. Furthermore, the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear on the inner edges in both 2023 and 2025 indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that need addressing to prevent premature tyre replacement.
