2010 Chrysler Grand Voyager — MOT failures & pass rate
1,855 MOT tests on the 2010 Chrysler Grand Voyager are in this dataset, and 73.4% of them passed. MPVs of a similar age fail at 25.9%, so the 2010 Grand Voyager sits squarely on the average. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, brakes and suspension.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (16.0%) and brakes (14.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are rbt (sp), position lamp and stop lamp — rbt (sp) alone was recorded 149 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 17.7% in the 30-60k band and 29.6% in the 150k+ band, a 11.9-point spread.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: brakes was flagged on 30.1% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 23.7% of tests failed in 2021 against 29.2% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2010 Grand Voyager
On a 2010 Grand Voyager, lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 16.0% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (16.0% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (14.7% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Suspension (8.3% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
