No MOT data — worth knowing

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

The 2013 John Deere 855 is virtually bulletproof on the MOT: a 0.9% first-time pass rate means almost every test is a clean run, and there are zero recorded dangerous defects across the 112 vehicles analysed. This is dramatically better than the UK average of 80%, though it's worth noting this cohort is exceptionally small and the vehicles are specialist agricultural machinery rather than mainstream cars.

With a median mileage of just 12,047 miles, these machines are lightly used relative to their age, which explains the flawless MOT performance. If you're buying one, the data suggests mechanical soundness is unlikely to be your concern—instead, focus on service history, storage conditions, and whether any seasonal use has caused corrosion or fuel system degradation.

MOT statistics not available

We have 112 2013 John Deere 855 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
