Chrysler Voyager (2002)

1,513 real MOT outcomes analysed • 69.4% first-time pass rate

2002 Chrysler Voyager

CarHunch analysed 1,513 real MOT records for the 2002 Chrysler Voyager. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2002 Chrysler Voyager is a notably unreliable bet: its 69.4% first-time pass rate sits nearly 11 points below the UK average of 80%, and a worrying 36.8% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point. Petrol and diesel variants perform almost identically (69.9% vs 69.2%), so fuel type won't improve your odds here.

These Voyagers show typical mileage for their age at around 92,700 miles, but they're troublesome once you own one—averaging 4.5 failures and 18.6 advisories per test, suggesting persistent mechanical issues rather than one-off problems. If you're considering this model, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on structural corrosion and brake condition, given the high dangerous defect rate, and budget for regular repairs.

What to check before buying a 2002 Chrysler 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.
  • ⚠️ 36.8% 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.
