Our Verdict

Proceed with caution regarding the high mileage, but the recent MOT history is clean. This is a modern hybrid MPV that has been driven extensively in a short period.

The primary consideration for this vehicle is its high mileage relative to its age. You should verify why a 2023 hybrid has covered over 76,000 miles so quickly, as this suggests heavy long-distance use. Ask for documentation regarding the hybrid battery health and any service history that aligns with this high level of usage.

Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history shows no current defects, the rapid wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension is a statistical likelihood given the distance covered. Ensure the charging cables and hybrid-specific components are present and functioning.

As a 1.4L Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), running costs will depend heavily on how frequently the battery is charged. If driven primarily on electric power, fuel costs could be low, but high mileage suggests frequent motorway use where the petrol engine will be more active.

Tax and insurance groups for a vehicle of this size and complexity tend to be mid-to-high. Expect typical maintenance costs for a Volkswagen, though you should budget for more frequent replacement of suspension components and tyres due to the vehicle's weight and high annual mileage.

Focus your inspection on the hybrid system's integration and the physical wear and tear consistent with 76,000 miles. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are high-wear items on heavy MPVs.

Although the MOT history from December 2025 to January 2026 shows no defects, one failure was recorded at 74,923 miles in December 2025. While the specific defect was not detailed in the summary, you should check if any repairs were carried out at that time to ensure the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity remains sound.

This 2023 Volkswagen Multivan Life PHEV S-A has covered 76,199 miles in less than three years, which is significantly higher than average for its age. While the most recent MOT tests in late 2025 and early 2026 show no recorded defects, the vehicle has seen rapid mileage accumulation. The hybrid powertrain and black exterior are notable features for this specific registration.

No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Volkswagen Multivan Life PHEV S-A to provide a comparative baseline.
