2017 Volkswagen Amarok 3.0L Diesel · SA67 AUJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test on September 27, 2023, at 173,685 miles, which passed without any defects. This indicates that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows intermittent failures in earlier years, the transition to a clean pass in the two most recent inspections suggests that the previous owner was willing to rectify identified issues to maintain road legality. The mileage accumulation is significantly high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging over 19,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2022, the Amarok covered 25,355 miles in a twelve-month period, representing heavy motorway-style usage consistent with commercial or long-distance fleet applications. This high rate of use typically accelerates the wear on de-damping components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain-related hardware. Given that nearly three years have passed since the last recorded MOT test in September 2023 at 173,685 miles, the vehicle has likely covered several thousand additional miles, making the current state of consumable items unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as high-mileage pickups place immense stress on coil springs and shock absorbers. The record shows failures in 2021 and 2022 which, while resolved, indicate a vehicle that may be prone to specific component fatigue. Particular attention should be paid to signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points, which are common in vehicles of this age and mileage, alongside a check of brake discs and calipers to ensure no significant binding has occurred since the last official test.
