CarHunch analysed 407 real MOT records for the 2022 DS DS 3 Crossback Bastille EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 DS DS 3 Crossback Bastille EV passes its MOT at 87%, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and only 3.7% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure for a relatively new electric model. This is a genuinely reliable car in its first few years, with owners averaging just 0.18 failures per test and 0.8 advisories, suggesting minimal trouble on the road.

At a median mileage of 19,581 miles for a 2022 model, these vehicles are being driven normally rather than racked up or barely used, which gives real-world credibility to the pass rate. The main takeaway is straightforward: if you're considering buying a used example, you're looking at a vehicle with a strong early-life track record—run a pre-purchase inspection anyway, but you can buy with reasonable confidence.

What to check before buying a 2022 DS DS 3 Crossback Bastille EV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
