Things to look for when buying a used Volkswagen Tiguan

DSG transmission issues: On automatic models, check that the DSG gearbox shifts smoothly without hesitation or jerks, as repairs can be costly if there are underlying problems.

Infotainment system glitches: Test the touchscreen and all media functions thoroughly, as some owners have reported freezing screens or connectivity issues with Bluetooth and smartphone integration.

Timing belt and water pump: For diesel models, ensure that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced at correct intervals. Missing this maintenance can lead to expensive engine repairs.

Interior wear: Inspect seats, switchgear, and trim for signs of excessive wear, particularly in high-mileage examples, as some plastics can mark or scratch easily.

Electrical faults: Check that all windows, lights, and climate controls function correctly, since niggling electrical gremlins are not uncommon in this generation Tiguan.
