Used Volkswagen Amarok Boot Lid

The Amarok has run in two distinct generations: the first generation (2H) ran from 2010 to 2022, and the second generation (NF) launched in 2023. These two generations are built on entirely different platforms, so a boot lid from a first-gen Amarok will not fit a second-gen car and vice versa. Always confirm the generation with the breaker using your registration before buying.

Both the 2012 and 2015 Amarok sit within the first-generation (2H) platform, which ran from 2010 to 2022, so in principle the tailgate body pressing is from the same generation. However, Volkswagen made mid-generation changes to body panels during this production run, so whether the specific pressings interchange between those two years is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume.

2016 brought updates to the first-generation Amarok, and panel pressings on the tailgate may or may not have changed at that point — this is exactly the kind of mid-generation detail that breakers deal with daily. Name both registrations to the breaker and ask them to compare the part numbers before committing, as this is not something that can be confirmed with certainty from the outside.

Trim level does not affect the fit of the tailgate itself — the pressing is the same across Trendline, Highline, and Aventura within the same generation. What can differ is whether the tailgate carries a trim badge, a rear camera housing, or a different paint finish, so factor in those cosmetic details when sourcing a used one from a breaker.

Yes — the Amarok is exclusively a pickup truck, so it does not have a conventional boot lid in the hatchback or saloon sense; the relevant part is the tailgate at the rear of the load bed. When searching with breakers, use the term 'tailgate' rather than 'boot lid' to make sure you and the breaker are talking about the same component.

The Amarok was offered in both single-cab and double-cab body styles, and the bed and tailgate dimensions differ between them, so the tailgates are not interchangeable between these body styles. Always confirm the exact body style of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your own registration to make sure you're getting the right part.
