2019 DS DS7 MOT pass rate: 85.0% (3,070 tests)
Is the 2019 DS7 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 87.4% -2.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 84.3% -4.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 83.4% -3.6 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 2019 DS7?
The median tested example shows 38,934 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
