UK

The 2017 JCB 526-56 does not appear in the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database—this is because it's a telehandler (a heavy lifting truck), not a car or van, and falls under the separate DVSA commercial vehicle testing regime. That means there is no MOT pass rate, failure data, or defect information available here to assess its reliability the way you would for a normal car. If you're considering buying or operating one of these machines, you'll need to check its DVSA test history directly with DVSA or the seller, and have a qualified mechanic inspect the lifting mechanisms, hydraulics, and structural integrity. The median CarHunch score of 50 reflects the lack of light-vehicle data rather than any reliability verdict on the machine itself.

MOT statistics not available

We have 144 2017 Jcb 526 56 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
