Which Grand Voyager are you looking at?
Each Grand Voyager generation has its own weak spots. Pick the one you’re viewing to see what to check.
-
Suspension ball joint excessive wear
Safety risk RT, RGThe front suspension ball joints on diesel Grand Voyagers wear at an abnormally high rate, particularly on the lower control arms. The combination of the vehicle's weight distribution and the diesel engine's additional mass accelerates wear in the joint bearings and dust seals. MOT data shows this model fails steering ball joint tests at 10.1 times the national fleet average, with failures concentrated between 60,000-150,000 miles. This is a safety-critical component that affects steering control and wheel alignment.
What to check: With the vehicle on level ground, grasp each front wheel at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions and attempt to rock it side-to-side. Any movement or clicking sounds indicate ball joint wear. Visually inspect the rubber dust boots around each ball joint for splits, tears, or grease leakage. Dama...
-
Brake hose corrosion
Safety risk RT, RGThe brake hose ferrules (metal end fittings) on diesel Grand Voyagers are particularly susceptible to corrosion, especially where the flexible hoses connect to the rigid brake lines. The vehicle's height and ground clearance expose these connections to road salt and moisture, while the commercial-duty construction uses components that prioritise durability over corrosion resistance. MOT data shows brake hose ferrule corrosion at 5.8 times the fleet average, concentrated in the 60,000-100,000 mile range.
What to check: Raise the vehicle safely and inspect all flexible brake hoses, paying particular attention to the metal ferrules at each end. Look for rust, pitting, or white corrosion deposits around the threaded connections. Check for any signs of brake fluid weeping or staining around the hose connections - t...
-
Suspension bush excessive wear
Wear item RT, RGThe rubber suspension bushes throughout the front and rear suspension systems deteriorate rapidly on diesel Grand Voyagers. The vehicle's commercial-grade construction uses softer bushes to provide ride comfort, but these wear quickly under the additional weight of the diesel engine and typical high-mileage use. MOT data shows suspension component wear failures at 322.5 times the fleet average. Worn bushes affect handling, steering precision, and tyre wear patterns.
What to check: Visually inspect all visible rubber bushes on the front and rear suspension arms for cracking, perishing, or obvious deterioration. Look particularly at the anti-roll bar bushes and lower arm bushes. Check for rust staining or oil contamination around bush locations, which indicates the rubber ha...
-
Parking brake system failure
Safety and MOT risk RT, RGThe rear drum parking brake system on diesel Grand Voyagers suffers from multiple failure modes including seized adjusters, corroded cables, and worn brake shoes. The system is particularly vulnerable to corrosion due to its location and the infrequent use typical of automatic transmission vehicles. MOT data shows parking brake efficiency failures at up to 10.3 times the fleet average, with both complete failure and reduced effectiveness being common issues.
What to check: Apply the parking brake and check that it engages with a solid feel within 6-8 clicks. More clicks indicate cable stretch or brake shoe wear. With the parking brake applied, attempt to push the vehicle - it should be firmly held and not creep forward or backward. Visually inspect the parking brak...
-
Dashboard warning system malfunction
Electrical RT, RGThe electronic warning systems on diesel Grand Voyagers suffer from multiple sensor and wiring failures that trigger persistent dashboard warning lights. Common issues include ABS sensors, airbag system faults, and engine management warnings that may not indicate actual mechanical problems. MOT data shows warning device malfunctions at 14.6 times the fleet average, indicating this is a specific weakness of this model's electrical architecture rather than actual system failures.
What to check: Turn the ignition to position II without starting the engine and observe which warning lights illuminate. All lights should come on briefly then extinguish. Note any lights that remain constantly illuminated. Check for any obvious corrosion or damage to visible wiring looms, particularly around t...
