You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 185 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2009: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Opel Tigra TwinTop”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Things to check
- Actionner plusieurs fois le toit rigide, capoté et décapoté, et chercher bruits ou lenteurs.
- Contrôler les infiltrations d'eau et l'état des joints de toit.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien (distribution, vidanges).
- Essayer à froid et à chaud : démarrage, boîte, direction électrique.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le mécanisme du toit a-t-il déjà été réparé ?
- Où et comment la voiture a-t-elle été remisée ?
- Quel est l'historique d'entretien ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
No direct electric or hybrid equivalent in our guides. Simulate combustion vs electric cost
