You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 133 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.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Inspection checklist
Volkswagen Taigo I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire Volkswagen, les rappels effectués (logiciel d'airbag conducteur, faisceau des feux arrière).
- Sur une DSG7, essayer plusieurs démarrages en côte et à un feu : délai ou à-coups à la reprise.
- Contrôler l'absence d'humidité dans les feux avant et arrière.
- Tester l'écran multimédia (redémarrages, zones éteintes) et la mise à jour du logiciel.
- Regarder l'état de la peinture : un utilisateur la juge fragile.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels (airbag conducteur, faisceau des feux arrière) ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les attestations ?
- La boîte DSG7 a-t-elle déjà eu une mise à jour logicielle ou une intervention ?
- Quelle consommation moyenne relevez-vous ? Le réservoir est de 40 litres selon un utilisateur.
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.
