John Deere Xuv855 (2014)
2014 John Deere Xuv855
CarHunch is tracking 302 2014 John Deere Xuv855 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2014 John Deere XUV855 is a serious reliability concern, with only a 30% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%—that's a stark 50-percentage-point gap that suggests systemic issues with the model. The good news is that dangerous defects are not widespread at 0%, but the sheer failure rate makes this a risky purchase for anyone expecting hassle-free ownership.
The median mileage of 1,280 miles is unusually low for a 2014 vehicle, which may reflect that these are specialist or recreational machines with limited use rather than typical road cars—this context matters when interpreting the results. With zero recorded failures and advisories on average, the problem appears to be that most vehicles fail outright on their first test rather than accumulating known faults, which points to either design flaws or inspection procedures that don't align well with this vehicle type. Before buying one, get an independent pre-purchase inspection from someone familiar with this specific model rather than relying on MOT history alone.
We have 302 2014 John Deere Xuv855 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2014 John Deere Xuv855
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
