How many Volkswagen Tiguan are left?

331,220. That is how many Volkswagen Tiguan were still licensed in Great Britain at the end of 2026 Q1, according to DVLA records. One in every 101 cars on the road is one of these, and a further 4,557 are registered but declared off-road (SORN).

Survival, year by year

The same model ages very differently depending on when it was first registered. For each year of first registration since 2014, this is the most of that year’s cars that were ever licensed at once, and how many of them are still licensed today. The three youngest years are shown without a percentage: their peak is still today’s count, so it would read 100% and mean nothing.
