What to know
Volkswagen's larger, newer models, the Tiguan among them, perform noticeably better than the brand's smaller, older cars like the Polo, sitting around 79%, well above both the brand and national averages. This is a common pattern across most manufacturers: newer, larger models tend to test better, partly reflecting their age and partly reflecting a generally higher specification.
The Tiguan has re-entered the UK's overall best-seller charts in 2026, so there's a healthy and growing used market to choose from as more come off finance and lease deals.
