Cheap Volkswagen Amarok Rear View Mirror

The Amarok ran as a single generation from its UK launch in 2011 through to 2022, with a facelift arriving in 2016, before the all-new second-generation Amarok launched in 2023. Interior rear view mirrors generally match within a generation, so a pre-facelift (2011–2015) mirror may differ from a post-facelift (2016–2022) unit even though the body looks similar from outside — confirm with the breaker whether the specific part number suits your registration before buying.

The Amarok was sold in the UK across trim levels including Trendline, Highline, Aventura, and later Rockton and Atacama variants, and some higher trims included auto-dimming or camera-integrated mirrors that differ from the basic mirror on entry-level trims. If your vehicle has an auto-dimming or camera function, you need a mirror that matches that specification rather than simply the generation. Check your existing mirror and confirm with the breaker that the replacement carries the same features to avoid ending up with a non-functioning unit.

A 2017 Amarok sits in the post-facelift period (2016–2022), while a 2014 example is pre-facelift (2011–2015), and this boundary is one where interior trim parts can differ in fixing points, wiring connectors, and integrated functions such as auto-dimming or rain sensors. Because crossing the 2016 facelift boundary introduces a real compatibility risk, you should confirm with the breaker that the part number from the 2014 vehicle matches what your 2017 registration requires before purchasing.

The Amarok is VW's only pickup truck sold in this market and does not share a platform with VW's van range, so mirrors from vehicles like the Transporter or Crafter are not a like-for-like match even if they look similar. Stick to sourcing a mirror confirmed as Amarok-specific, and let the breaker verify compatibility against your registration to be sure.

The interior rear view mirror is mounted to the windscreen and is not determined by whether the vehicle is a single cab or double cab body style — the same generation and trim specification is the key factor. That said, if your mirror has an integrated rear-view camera display or other electronics, confirm with the breaker that the wiring and connector type match your specific build, as these details can vary regardless of cab style.

Make sure the breaker can confirm the mirror is from the correct generation — first-generation (2011–2022, noting the 2016 facelift) or second-generation (2023 onwards) — and that any integrated features such as auto-dimming, a compass display, or a camera screen match what your vehicle originally had. Provide your registration number to the breaker so they can cross-reference the part against your exact build, as trim and option-pack differences can affect connector types and mounting details.
