Chrysler Jeep Grand Voyager (2005)
2005 Chrysler Jeep Grand Voyager
CarHunch analysed 441 real MOT records for the 2005 Chrysler Jeep Grand Voyager. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2005 Grand Voyager is a reliability concern: its 70.6% first-time pass rate trails the UK average of 80% by nearly 10 percentage points, and nearly half of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above what you'd expect from a family MPV of this age. The diesel variants (which make up 78% of the cohort) perform identically poorly at 70.4%, so fuel type offers no safety advantage here.
At 85,980 miles median mileage, these are reasonably well-used examples for their age, yet they're averaging 5.18 failures per MOT—suggesting wear and age are catching up fast. The high advisory count of 27.6 per vehicle indicates persistent minor issues across brakes, suspension, and trim that will need attention; if you're considering one, budget for a full pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with American MPVs, because the MOT pass rate tells you maintenance won't be occasional.
What to check before buying a 2005 Chrysler Jeep Grand Voyager
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 48.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
