Can-Am Defender HD8 keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #521 of 1113 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Can-Am Defender HD8 retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #521 of 1113 powersports vehicles we track. That is 2 points above the 66% five-year average for UTV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Can-Am Defender HD8 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $12,399 it falls to around $8,493 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,906, about $2.14 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Can-Am Defender HD8 bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
