John Deere Xuv855 (2017)
2017 John Deere Xuv855
CarHunch is tracking 575 2017 John Deere Xuv855 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2017 John Deere XUV855 is essentially failing MOT at a catastrophic rate—just 2.6% pass on their first attempt versus the UK average of 80%—though it's worth noting these are utility vehicles rather than cars, and MOT rules for off-road equipment differ fundamentally from standard road vehicles. No dangerous defects have been recorded across the 575 units analysed, and there are zero recorded failures or advisories per vehicle on average, which suggests the testing framework or vehicle classification may not align with typical MOT reporting.
The median mileage of 7,626 miles is extremely low for a seven-year-old machine, indicating these are either rarely used or recently imported into the MOT system. Before drawing conclusions, you should verify whether the XUV855—a Gator-style side-by-side utility vehicle—actually falls under standard MOT requirements at all, as agricultural and off-road equipment often operates under different regulatory pathways.
We have 575 2017 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 2017 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.
