Common Chrysler-Jeep Grand Voyager MOT failures to check

Parts flagged at MOT well above the usual rate for cars the same age. From the DVSA’s results for every MOT done in Great Britain during 2023–2025.

  • Steering rack inner joints

    up to 3.6× usual

    Stands out on cars registered in 2007 and 2008.

    Rough price £100–£450 our estimate

    At the viewing: On a straight road the steering wheel should sit straight. Listen for knocks when turning, and check the steering feels even.

  • Anti-lock braking system

    up to 7.8× usual

    Stands out on cars registered in 2007.

    Rough price £100–£350 our estimate

    At the viewing: On a quiet road, brake firmly from about 30mph. The car should stop straight without pulling.

  • Battery

    up to 6.7× usual

    Stands out on cars registered in 2008.

    Rough price £80–£200 our estimate

    At the viewing: Check the car starts cleanly and there are no warning lights once running.

  • Handbrake performance

    up to 4.9× usual

    Stands out on cars registered in 2008.

    Rough price £80–£300 our estimate

    At the viewing: Pull the handbrake on a slope. It should hold the car within a few clicks.

  • Brake lights

    up to 2× usual

    Stands out on cars registered in 2008.

    Rough price £10–£80 our estimate

    At the viewing: Ask a friend to check every light while you work the switches: indicators, brake lights, fog lights and reversing lights.
