Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Chrysler Grand Voyager?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2013 Chrysler Grand Voyager?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Moderate sample. 344 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2013 Chrysler Grand Voyager's first-time pass rate of 76.3% trails the UK average by nearly 4 percentage points, and more worryingly, 52% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a significant red flag for a family vehicle. This combination suggests the Grand Voyager is genuinely less reliable than the typical UK car, and safety issues are a real concern for potential buyers.

At around 71,000 miles on average, these Voyagers are showing typical wear for their age, but the real issue is the pattern of failures: owners face an average of 3.2 failures per test and 16.8 advisories, indicating chronic rather than one-off problems. Before purchasing, have any used example inspected by a mechanic familiar with Chrysler products, and budget generously for repairs—the high advisory count suggests ongoing maintenance costs will be above average.

The 2013 Chrysler Grand Voyager has a decent first-time pass rate (76.3%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 16.8 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 344 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
