2015 Volkswagen Amarok 2.0L Diesel · F6 BRH

The vehicle is currently in a questionable state of roadworthiness with a maintenance trend that has worsened significantly in the last two years. While it passed its most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 149,887 miles, the tester flagged front tyres devoid of tread on the inner edges as an advisory. This follows a failure on 11 November 2025 where the vehicle suffered from low park brake efficiency of 17 percent, worn anti-roll bar bushes, and thin front brake pads. The mileage is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Accumulation has accelerated recently, with the odometer climbing from 120,035 miles in November 2022 to 149,887 miles by November 2025. This rapid increase of nearly 30,000 miles in three years explains the increased frequency of mechanical failures and the degradation of wear-and-tear components. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension and steering geometry. The recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in both October 2020 and November 2025 strongly suggests a persistent tracking or alignment issue that has not been permanently corrected. The failure of the anti-roll bar bushes in 2025 indicates that the front-end suspension is now fatigued under the high mileage. The braking system requires a thorough physical inspection. The record shows a pattern of neglect, from thin pads in November 2023 to a lagging nearside rear brake in November 2024 and low handbrake efficiency in November 2025. The repeated failure of the supplementary restraint system warning lamp in 2021 and 2024 also suggests an intermittent electrical or airbag fault that may still be present.
