Let's set some context:
Person A knocks on person B's door.
Person B: "Oh no! He's here to rob us!" (bear with me)
Person A: "If I was here to rob you, I wouldn't have knocked."
I know this is a hypothetical statement, but is this a hypothetical statement for the past, or present?
Could be present because the person is explaining why the person is at the house.
Could be past because the person said I wouldn't have knocked, referring to the past.
