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

The Volkswagen Multivan Life PHEV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 69,126 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 2 July 2025, 27 December 2024, and 10 June 2024 each passed cleanly with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across its four-year MOT span. Mileage accumulation sits high for a 2023 plate. The record shows 18,588 miles at the June 2024 test, jumping to 38,524 by December 2024, then 56,589 by July 2025, and 69,126 by January 2026. That averages roughly 23,000 miles per year. The six-month gap between the December 2024 and July 2025 tests covered nearly 18,000 miles, indicating sustained motorway or commercial-style use rather than short urban cycles. The clean MOT history gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the PHEV drivetrain and high-voltage battery cooling, as MOT tests do not assess hybrid battery degradation. Given the annual mileage, expect accelerated consumable replacement on tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads versus a lower-mileage example. Verify service intervals match the mileage load before purchase. Four consecutive passes with zero advisories suggest the previous keeper kept the van to a basic standard, but the test regime does not confirm fluid changes or timing belt condition on the combustion side. Inspect underneath for early structural rust given winter road salt exposure at this usage level.
