# DS Automobiles DS 9 MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The DS Automobiles DS 9 passed its MOT first time 87% of the time, but from only 83 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 87%
- MOT tests analysed: 83 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Visibility & wipers
- Licensed in Great Britain: 138 (2026 Q2)
