2015 DS DS4 MOT pass rate: 69.0% (2,412 tests)
Is the 2015 DS4 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2015-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 69.2% -11.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 70.4% -8.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 67.4% -9.6 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2015 DS4?
