2013 Volkswagen Amarok 2.0L Diesel · FP62 ULH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred consumable and structural repairs. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 120,144 miles passed, the tester flagged all four primary tyres and the spare as being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a recent lapse in basic tyre maintenance compared to previous years. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak across both 2024 and 2025 suggests a slow weep that the owner has opted to monitor than address. The Amarok has averaged approximately 9,240 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows steady progression, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,805 miles in the following year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the total distance of 120,144 miles places it at a stage where suspension and drivetrain components are naturally prone to age-related degradation. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and chassis integrity closely. The 2024 test recorded corrosion on both front coil springs and the rear beam's prescribed mounting area. While these did not cause a failure then, corrosion on structural mounting points requires physical monitoring to ensure it does not progress into structural weakness. Furthermore, the failure in 2023 due to a serious fluid leak in the offside rear shock absorber and a contaminated brake drum indicates that the rear assembly has previously suffered significant wear. The buyer should verify that the current shocks are dry and that the uneven tyre wear noted in the latest test is not being caused by an underlying alignment issue or worn bushes.
