CarHunch analysed 261 real MOT records for the 2022 DS Ds3 C Back Pfrmc Ln+ Ptch Ss A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This DS3 C-Back is a strong performer, with a 91.8% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 1.9% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—so safety isn't a concern here. The low failure rate of 0.11 per vehicle suggests mechanically sound cars across the board.

At under 20,000 miles on the clock (median 17,942), these are barely run-in examples, which explains the clean MOT picture and means you're buying into a vehicle with plenty of potential longevity ahead. With just 0.5 advisories per car on average, you won't inherit a list of niggling issues—simply get a pre-purchase inspection done to confirm service history and check the cabin electrics, which are often the weak point on modern French superminis.

What to check before buying a 2022 DS Ds3 C Back Pfrmc Ln+ Ptch Ss A

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.
