70.3% of petrol Chrysler Grand Voyagers pass the MOT first time, measured across 780 DVSA tests on that fuel type alone. Average mileage at test was 106,702.

Petrol against the other Chrysler Grand Voyager versions

Why the fuel type changes the number

Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.

On the Chrysler Grand Voyager specifically, petrol is the strongest at 70.3%, and this petrol version sits 4.2 points above the 66.1% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The petrol Chrysler Grand Voyager is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.

Mileage is part of the answer

The average petrol Chrysler Grand Voyager had covered 106,702 miles at test, against 113,601 for the diesel. That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust.

Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Chrysler Grand Voyager page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
