No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific John Deere Xuv865m 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.

UK

This John Deere XUV865M is essentially untestable as an MOT vehicle — only 0.5% achieved first-time pass, which is a complete outlier against the UK average of 80%. The issue here isn't reliability but registration: these are ultralight utility vehicles (median mileage just 2,290 miles) that fall outside standard MOT testing protocols, so the pass rate figures are meaningless.

With zero average failures, zero advisories, and no dangerous defects recorded across 571 vehicles, there's no actual safety or durability signal in this data. If you're considering this vehicle, ignore the MOT statistics entirely and instead focus on the manufacturer's warranty, dealer feedback, and real-world reviews from owners in similar working conditions.

MOT statistics not available

We have 571 2020 John Deere Xuv865m 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
