2013 Volkswagen Amarok 2.0L Diesel · EY13 AEL

The vehicle is in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2026 at 121,589 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently stable following a period of mechanical instability in mid-2025. While the vehicle suffered significant failures regarding suspension and lighting previously, the subsequent pass without advisories indicates these issues were addressed immediately. The overall consistency of passing tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying safety failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and July 2024, where the Amarok covered 17,607 miles in just thirteen months. This represents a period of heavy use compared to the earlier annual averages. However, the accumulation returned to a more typical rate between the July 2025 and 2026 tests, with only 3,782 additional miles recorded. This fluctuation in mileage is common for a utility vehicle used for both work and private travel. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension components during a physical inspection. The July 2025 failure identified excessively worn D-shaped anti-roll bar bushes and a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber. Although these were cleared, the 2022 record also noted corrosion on both rear shock absorber casings, suggesting the vehicle may be exposed to harsh environments or heavy loading conditions. The 2023 failure regarding parking brake efficiency indicates that the handbrake mechanism requires regular adjustment to prevent binding or failure. Furthermore, verify the headlamp alignment and leveling device are functional, as these were previously flagged as defective in 2025.
