Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Identify 110 vs 132 vs 162TSI vs TDI, FWD vs 4MOTION, 5-seat vs Allspace, NZ-new vs JDM. DSG and Haldex invoices; cold DSG test. Slide the rear bench; fold Allspace third row. Coolant weeps; sunroof drains; matching AWD tyres. TDI: RUC and DPF; confirm 2,500kg tow only if the plate says so. Request as much service history as possible — DSG oil-change invoices matter on dual-clutch cars. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings — the best-value example is often the best-kept one, not the cheapest. Identify NZ-new vs Japanese import: JDM cars can be high-spec but may have Japanese-language infotainment and different option packs.
