There is no error. The sentence can be written as " Inspite of my advice, he persisted to do it"

Yes, the sentence can be written as " Inspite of my advice, he persisted to do it". But the original sentence is not sounding good with "to do it".

Can this be the correct form? " he was persistent to do it in spite of my advice".

"persist" word must followed by gerund verb. It's a grammar rule.

@Alphin, Persisted could be followed by to/in/on/with etc. So your point may not be valid if this point is correct.
