Insight summary

Volkswagen Tiguan Match Tdi is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,529 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 88.6% from 16,758 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 57,677 miles and an average age of 6.0 years. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by gas bi-fuel, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and lighting. The practical read is that the Volkswagen Tiguan Match Tdi looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
