2021 DS DS 3 Crossback Prfrmnc Line EV
CarHunch analysed 201 real MOT records for the 2021 DS DS 3 Crossback Prfrmnc Line EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 DS 3 Crossback Performance Line EV is slightly more reliable than average, with an 84.6% first-time pass rate compared to the UK's 80%, and a reassuringly low 8.5% of vehicles having ever recorded a dangerous defect. This is a genuinely dependable electric car for its age and mileage profile.
At just under 24,000 miles median, these cars are still very young and lightly used, which explains why they're averaging only 0.4 failures per test and 1.6 advisories—typical wear items rather than structural problems. Before buying, request the full MOT history to check what those advisories actually are, since small niggles on an EV (brake dust, trim wear) are far less concerning than they would be on a combustion engine.
What to check before buying a 2021 DS DS 3 Crossback Prfrmnc Line 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.
