Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
With mileage over 200,000, the primary focus must be on the service history. Verify the intervals for oil changes and specifically look for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine. Any gaps in the service record should be viewed as a significant risk given the distance covered.
Negotiate the price based on the extreme mileage and the likelihood of needing major component replacements soon. Ensure that any previous issues mentioned in the MOT history, such as the rear brake imbalances, have been permanently resolved rather than just temporarily adjusted for the test.
Running costs for this 2.0L diesel Amarok will be influenced by its age and high mileage. Fuel economy will vary depending on usage and load, while road tax will be determined by the 2014 CO2 emissions bracket for this engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and the wear associated with 200k+ miles. Budget for more frequent repairs to suspension components and braking systems. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is likely to be substantial.
Carefully inspect the rear braking system and the rear shock absorbers; these were flagged for imbalance and oil misting in the 2022 and 2023 MOT records. Check the engine bay and undercarriage for any signs of the oil leak that was noted as 'not excessive' in July 2023 to see if it has persisted or worsened.
Additionally, verify the headlamp alignment, as the vehicle failed its MOT in March 2022 due to incorrect beam images on both the nearside and offside. Check for any signs of chassis corrosion, which is common for pickups of this age and mileage.
This brown 2014 Volkswagen Amarok has recorded 202,396 miles as of its October 2025 MOT. The history shows a period of instability in 2022 and 2023 with failures and advisories related to brakes, headlamps, and oil leaks, though the two most recent tests were passed without defects. It is a high-mileage example of the 2.0L diesel variant.
