2016 Volkswagen Amarok 2.0L Diesel · RU51 BAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 July 2025 at 119,573 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred on 20 July 2023 at 95,270 miles, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly without indicating a deeper mechanical decline. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Amarok, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between the July 2022 test at 86,801 miles and the July 2025 test at 119,573 miles, the vehicle covered 32,772 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular use rather than the spoilage often associated with extensive standing periods which can lead to seized components components. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, a buyer should focus on inspecting high-wear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. At nearly 120,000 miles, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential as these often reach the end of their service life at this. Check for surface corrosion on the chassis and brake pipe lines, as the MOT test does not flag minor rust until it reaches a structural integrity threshold.
