Is the Grand Voyager getting worse?
The fail rate fell 2 points to 33.2% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 1 year. Ageing alone would predict about 0.9 points, so it is holding up better than the fleet average for its age.
| Year | Tests | Median age | Fail rate | All cars | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 6,643 | 16 | 35.2% | 22.5% | |
| 2023 | 5,481 | 16 | 34.6% | 22.8% | |
| 2024 | 4,091 | 16 | 34.4% | 23.2% | |
| 2025 | 3,559 | 17 | 33.2% | 22.6% |
Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Grand Voyager at its test that year, and it is the number to watch: across the whole fleet each extra year of age adds roughly 1.9 points to the fail rate, so a model whose age and fail rate rise together is simply getting older.
The exact defects that fail it
Every failure item DVSA recorded against a Grand Voyager in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.
- 1Rbt (sp): efficiency below requirements231 tests
- 2Position lamp: not working178 tests
- 3Rbt (sp): efficiency less than 50% of the required value151 tests
- 4Malfunction indicator lamp: inoperative or indicates a malfunction141 tests
- 5Parking brake performance: inoperative on one side134 tests
- 6Anti-lock braking system: warning lamp indicates an ABS fault111 tests
- 7Component mounting prescribed areas: prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength103 tests
- 8Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick101 tests
What wears out first
Advisories are the tester flagging wear that is still legal. A typical Grand Voyager collects 3.44 of them per test, and these are the ones that come up most. Treat it as the running-repairs list for the next year or two.
- 1Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm610 tests
- 2Brake discs: in such a condition that it is seriously weakened513 tests
- 3Engine oil leaks: leaking excessively from engine480 tests
- 4Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick367 tests
- 5Condition: has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure366 tests
- 6Pins and bushes: pin or bush excessively worn366 tests
- 7Non-component advisories: Play in steering rack inner joint(s)287 tests
- 8Rigid brake pipes: excessively corroded237 tests
Questions
What is the Chrysler Grand Voyager MOT pass rate?
66.9% of the 3,561 Chrysler Grand Voyager first-attempt MOTs in 2025 passed. The fail rate of 33.1% compares with 22.6% across all cars. A further 7.9% passed after a defect was fixed during the test visit.
What does a Chrysler Grand Voyager usually fail on?
The single most common failure is "Rbt (sp): efficiency below requirements", recorded on 231 failed tests, followed by "Position lamp: not working" and "Rbt (sp): efficiency less than 50% of the required value". By section, brakes appears in 55.3% of failures, lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment appears in 41.1% of failures, suspension appears in 36.3% of failures.
Does age change the odds?
Sharply. At 3 to 5 years old the fail rate was n/a%; at 14+ years it was 34.3%. The median Chrysler Grand Voyager tested in 2025 was 17 years old with 110,990 miles.
Is the Chrysler Grand Voyager getting less reliable?
The fail rate fell 2 points to 33.2% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 1 year. Ageing alone would predict about 0.9 points, so it is holding up better than the fleet average for its age.
