2019 Volkswagen Amarok 3.0L Diesel · LM57 OBY

Overall roadworthiness remains solid, the Amarok has passed five consecutive MOTs with no recorded failures, the only blemish being an advisory on the off‑side front tyre in the 2024 test; the most recent inspection on 3 June 2026 confirmed a clean result, indicating the vehicle has maintained a stable compliance profile over the past two years. At 98 167 miles the vehicle averages roughly 14 000 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits above the typical UK average for a seven‑year‑old pickup. This level of use accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, discs and suspension components, and it also suggests the engine and drivetrain have been subjected to a higher number of load cycles. No significant gaps appear in the MOT chronology, so the mileage has been recorded consistently, but the relatively high annual accumulation means that wear items may be approaching the end of their service lives. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the off‑side front tyre that triggered the 2024 advisory. Inspect the sidewall for any cracking, bulging or perishing, verify tread depth is at least 1.6 mm across the width, and feel for vibration or pulsation at highway speeds that could indicate internal damage. While no suspension or brake faults have been flagged, the high mileage warrants a thorough check of front suspension bushes, ball joints and coil springs for looseness or excessive play, and a visual and tactile assessment of brake pads and discs for thickness and scoring. Listen for any knocking over bumps, and test the steering for pull or uneven response. Given the clean MOT history apart from the tyre note, the vehicle is likely to remain roadworthy provided the tyre is replaced or confirmed to be in good condition and the wear items typical of high‑mileage use are inspected. A pre‑purchase mechanical check focused on tyre integrity, brake wear, and front‑end suspension will help confirm that no hidden deterioration has developed since the last MOT, and will give the buyer confidence that the Amarok can meet future MOT requirements without unexpected failures.
