💡 What does the warranty cliff mean?
The Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto ages relatively gracefully. The failure rate increase of 18% after warranty is below average, suggesting good long-term reliability. Peak failure occurs at age 17 (55.6% 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 Lx Auto MOT Data
The Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto is a relatively common sight on UK roads, with 24,813 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 11 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 54.2% and a failure rate of 45.8%, which is below the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto 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 Lx Auto is likely to perform.
Brakes — 53.6% of failures
Brakes issues account for 53.6% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto. 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 — 37.6% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 37.6% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto. 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 — 18.3% of failures
Suspension issues account for 18.3% of MOT failures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager Lx Auto. 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.
