DS MOT pass rates
DS MOT pass rates, ranked across 22 models and 157,424 DVSA MOT tests between 2015 and 2022, from the Ds (88.4%) to the DS4 (78.1%). The tables below compare every model with enough tests to rank, list the most-tested models, and link to each model's own pass-rate and fault pages.
How DS models compare on the MOT
The spread across DS models is wide — 88.4% for the Ds at the top and 78.1% for the DS4 at the bottom, a 10.3-point gap across 4,275 and 16,496 recorded tests respectively. Most DS models sit much closer to the middle (around 81.0%, on 4,743 tests for the DS5). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2015–2022 data years: 157,424 tests across 22 DS models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.

Reading the numbers
A pass rate covers every completed test recorded for that model and year, including retests. First-attempt figures are lower. See how we calculate.
