How many DS DS9s are left in Great Britain?

DS DS9 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of DS DS9s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

DS DS9 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 141 DS DS9s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 74.5% have an engine of 1,501cc to 1,600cc, and 25.5% have an engine of 1,601cc to 1,700cc. The share with an engine of 1,601cc to 1,700cc has fallen from 31.5% in 2023 to 25.5%. Plug-in hybrids made up 62.0% of those licensed in 2023 and 76.6% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

DS DS9 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the DS DS9 from 2023 to 2024. plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 170.0 to 361.2 mpg (weighted).

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as well as on fuel.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “DS 9”. How we use VCA’s figures.

DS DS9 safety recalls

We found no recalls for the DS DS9 in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every DS DS9. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
