2006 Chrysler Grand Voyager

CarHunch analysed 3,175 real MOT records for the 2006 Chrysler Grand Voyager. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2006 Chrysler Grand Voyager is a genuine reliability concern, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 71.7%—nearly 9 points below the UK average of 80%. Most troubling, nearly half of these vehicles (49.1%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which should give any prospective buyer serious pause about safety systems and structural integrity.

At an average mileage of 88,060 for an 18-year-old vehicle, these Grand Voyagers are showing their age with 4.99 failures and 26 advisories per test on average, indicating pervasive wear across multiple systems rather than isolated problem areas. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically covers brake performance, suspension geometry, and any history of the dangerous defects flagged in MOT records—this isn't a model where you can afford to skip due diligence.

What to check before buying a 2006 Chrysler 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.
  • ⚠️ 49.1% 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.
