Chrysler Grand Voyager Le MOT Reliability Overview
The Chrysler Grand Voyager Le is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 2,499 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 4 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 42.8% and a failure rate of 57.2%, which is significantly below the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Chrysler Grand Voyager Le earns a "Very Poor" reliability rating. The average Chrysler Grand Voyager Le presents for MOT with approximately 133,906 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2001 models achieve the highest pass rate at 45.8%, while 1998 models have the lowest at 37.7%. This 8.1 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Chrysler Grand Voyager Le is Brakes, affecting 72.5% of all tests. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. The second most common issue is Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment at 58.1%. Suspension rounds out the top three at 32.2%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

💡 What does the warranty cliff mean?
The Chrysler Grand Voyager Le shows a relatively stable failure rate after warranty — the change of 0% is negligible. Peak failure occurs at age 14 (61.7% fail rate).
Note: pass rates may improve for very old vehicles due to survivorship bias — only well-maintained cars remain on the road.

About Chrysler Grand Voyager Le MOT Data
The Chrysler Grand Voyager Le is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 2,499 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 4 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 42.8% and a failure rate of 57.2%, which is significantly below the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Chrysler Grand Voyager Le owners, these results suggest above-average failure risk — thorough pre-MOT checks are recommended. Focus your pre-MOT checks on brakes and lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Grand Voyager Le is likely to perform.
Brakes — 72.5% of failures
Brakes issues account for 72.5% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Le. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment — 58.1% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 58.1% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Le. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Suspension — 32.2% of failures
Suspension issues account for 32.2% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Le. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
