CarHunch is tracking 363 2017 Jcb 535v125 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Moderate sample. 363 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
No MOT history yet — it's too new
UK cars don't need their first MOT until they're 3 years old, so there's no test history for the 2017 Jcb 535v125 yet. We'll have real reliability data as they start coming through for their first tests.

Got a specific Jcb 535v125 you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 2017 JCB 535V125 is a catastrophic outlier with a 10.7% first-time pass rate—nearly nine times worse than the UK average of 80%—making it by far the least reliable vehicle in its cohort. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0.0%) is the only bright spot, but it offers cold comfort when nearly nine in ten vehicles fail their MOT on the first attempt.
This is a telehandler (industrial lift truck), not a car, which explains both the extreme pass rate pattern and the absence of meaningful mileage data; these machines are subject to vastly harsher conditions and more rigorous inspection standards than road vehicles. If you're considering one, assume major remedial work will be needed before and between MOTs—treat the 10.7% pass rate as a baseline for budgeting repairs, not as a sign of acceptable reliability.
We have 363 2017 Jcb 535v125 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data yet to show reliable statistics — as a 2017 model, most vehicles won't have reached their first MOT test date.
