Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- MQB Water Pump LeakModerate
Plastic housing warping causes slow coolant leaks.
- DSG Gearbox IssuesSerious
Both the DQ200 (dry clutch on 1.4/1.5 TSI) and DQ381 (wet clutch on 2.0 TDI) can develop problems. The DQ200 is more prone to mechatronic failure, while the DQ381 can suffer from clutch pack wear if not serviced at 40k-mile intervals.
- Air Conditioning Compressor FailureModerate
The AC compressor can develop a fault where it stops cooling or makes a grinding noise. On the Tiguan Mk2 this often manifests between 50,000 and 80,000 miles, sometimes caused by a leak in the refrigerant circuit.
