$^{51}$V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetization studies on CeTi$_{1-x}$V$_x$Ge$_3$ have been performed to explore the evolution from the ferromagnetic ($x = 0.113$) to the antiferromagnetic Kondo lattice state ($x = 1$), with focus on the emergence of a possible ferromagnetic quantum critical point (FMQCP) at $x_c \approx 0.4$. From the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, $1/T_1T$, and the Knight shift, \textit{K}, for $x=0.113$ and $x=1$ a considerable competition between ferro- and antiferromagnetic correlations is found. Around the critical concentration ($x = 0.35, 0.405$) quantum-critical spin fluctuations entail weak antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations admixed with ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The FMQCP in CeTi$_{1-x}$V$_x$Ge$_3$ therefore is not purely ferromagnetic in nature.
