2023 Volkswagen Multivan Life Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL73 ADV

The Volkswagen Multivan Life PHEV S-A presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 55,682 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests on 29 May 2025 at 45,786 miles and 19 November 2024 at 25,174 miles also passed without advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 November 2024 at 25,116 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed the following day, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a minor rectifiable item rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation on this three-year-old van is high at 55,682 recorded miles, averaging roughly 18,561 miles per year. The records show a steep rise between 20 May 2024 (9,154 miles) and 19 November 2024 (25,174 miles), adding over 16,000 miles in six months, then a further 20,612 miles by May 2025 and another 9,896 by November 2025. Such usage points to regular long-distance commuting or commercial-style operation rather than occasional private use. The MOT data itself is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged across any pass, so the history alone gives no warning of neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage and PHEV drivetrain, which adds weight and cyclical regen braking load. The 18 November 2024 fail with zero recorded defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code at point of sale, as the one-day turnaround to pass suggests a documentation or emissions-readiness issue rather than structural corrosion or binding calipers. No recurring mechanical faults or structural integrity concerns appear in the official record. The clean advisory history across four passes implies previous keepers addressed wear before each test, though the rapid mileage gain means tyres, wiper blades, and cabin filters will likely need confirmation of replacement intervals in service paperwork.
