Can-Am Defender MAX XT HD8 keeps an estimated 70% of its value after 5 years — #448 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 MAX XT HD8 retains an estimated 70% of its value after five years, ranking #448 of 1113 powersports vehicles we track. That is 4 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 MAX XT HD8 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $17,899 it falls to around $12,600 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,299, about $2.90 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Can-Am Defender MAX XT HD8 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
