2017 Volkswagen Amarok 3.0L Diesel · 2 WPX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 98,977 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 98,974 miles. This specific sequence suggests a clerical error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories across the last four testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The data shows steady growth, moving from 57,459 miles in December 2022 to 98,977 miles by late 2025. The jump of roughly 15,000 miles between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests indicates regular usage patterns, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of engine components and braking systems as it prevents the degradation of seals often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding structural corrosion or mechanical failure, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear areas typical of high-mileage Amarok models. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these often degrade after 90 thousand miles. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile milestone, verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump if they have not been replaced recently, as these items are not covered by the MOT test but are critical for engine longevity.
