2018 Volkswagen Amarok 3.0L Diesel · CT57 EEL

The Volkswagen Amarok presents a currently roadworthy status following the January 2026 test pass at 118,351 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass on 12 January 2026 came one day after a 7 January 2026 failure at 118,349 miles that recorded no defects, a pattern repeated on 13 December 2024 when a failure at 110,458 miles was followed by a pass at 110,461 miles the same day with no defects listed. These back-to-back failures and passes with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the five-entry record. The odometer shows 118,351 miles on an eight-year-old 2018 vehicle, averaging roughly 14,794 miles per year which is high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or commercial use. Annual accumulation ran from 97,511 miles at the December 2023 test to 110,461 miles in December 2024, then jumped to 118,351 by January 2026, confirming steady heavy use with no standing periods. The sparse three-year record with clean passes between the twin failure-pass anomalies gives little depth on consumable wear, though high mileage alone raises expectation of suspension bush fatigue and brake disc wear unseen in the data. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms, coil springs, and rear leaf springs given the Amarok's load-bearing design and accumulated distance. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet the lack of advisories across high annual mileage warrants measuring brake disc thickness and checking caliper operation personally. Verify the twin failure-pass entries were clerical by obtaining the full DVSA test certificates, and assess tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions on site as the record offers no evidence either way.
