Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 DS DS 3 Crossback Rivoli P Tech A?

This 2022 DS 3 Crossback is notably reliable, with a 90.7% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.4% of vehicles. The low failure rate of 0.09 per vehicle suggests structural soundness, though the 0.6 advisories per vehicle indicate minor wear is starting to appear.

At 17,361 miles median, these cars are running below the typical 12,000 miles per year you'd expect, which partly explains the strong pass rate—this is still a young cohort with limited exposure. If you're considering one, check the service history carefully and budget for those minor advisories as they accumulate, but don't be put off by the numbers: this model is performing genuinely well so far.
