Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a silver 2.0L diesel Amarok with relatively low mileage for its age. While the MOT history shows recent failures, these were resolved to achieve passing results.
When viewing this silver Amarok, focus on verifying the service history to complement the MOT records. Since the vehicle has a 1968cc diesel engine, check for evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements, which are vital for long-term engine health in these units.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT failure history. Although the specific defect types were not detailed in the provided records for the 2024 and 2025 failures, you should ask the seller for the specific reasons for these failures and proof that the required repairs were carried out. Ensure the vehicle's 4x4 systems and load-carrying capabilities have been tested.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by annual mileage and driving style, particularly if used for heavy towing or off-road work. Expect fuel economy to be typical for a mid-sized pickup, likely sitting in the mid-to-high 20s or low 30s MPG depending on load.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Amarok vary, but buyers should prepare for mid-range insurance premiums. Maintenance costs for Volkswagen commercial vehicles can be higher than standard passenger cars, especially regarding suspension components and tyres, which may wear faster on a pickup.
Given that the vehicle failed its MOT in both 2024 and 2025 before passing, a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension, and tyre tread is essential. Even though the specific defects weren't listed, these are common areas for failure in older pickups.
Check the underside of the silver chassis for any signs of excessive corrosion or damage from off-road use. Additionally, inspect the diesel engine for any signs of leaks around the fuel system and ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly without undue noise.
This 2013 Volkswagen Amarok (AE63XFP) has covered 70,478 miles since its first registration in September 2013. The MOT history shows three recorded tests since 2023, with the most recent test in November 2025 resulting in a pass. The mileage is notably lower than typical for a diesel pickup of this age, which may influence its value proposition.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Volkswagen Amarok to provide a statistical comparison.
