2021 Genesis GV80 Luxury Line T AWD Auto 2.5L Petrol · OU71 AVG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 6 August 2025 at 44,991 miles. However, this pass occurred immediately after a failure the preceding day, which indicates a concerning lapse in maintenance. The failure was solely for tyre defects: both front tyres had cuts deep enough to reach the ply or cords, and both rear tyres had nails embedded. This pattern suggests the previous owner operated the car with significantly damaged tyres, a serious safety risk, before rectifying the issues just in time for the retest. The maintenance trend is therefore unstable, characterised by a reactive rather than proactive approach to critical wear items. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The recorded 44,991 miles translates to an average of approximately 9,000 miles per year. The gap between the 2024 test at 34,748 miles and the 2025 tests shows an increase of over 10,000 miles in one year, which is a normal rate of use. There are no anomalous gaps in the testing history that would suggest periods of disuse or clock manipulation; the record is sparse but clean, with only the two 2025 tests in the last twelve months. A buyer must inspect the current tyres and wheels meticulously. The history of deep sidewall cuts and nail punctures requires verification that all damaged tyres were correctly replaced, not just repaired, and that the wheel alignment was checked following such impacts. Furthermore, the suspension components, particularly the front struts and rear axle, should be examined for any hidden damage from the tyre failures, as severe sidewall damage can sometimes indicate a prior impact with a pothole or kerb that stressed suspension mounting bushes or coil springs. The absence of other advisories or failures in the record is positive, but the tyre history alone warrants a thorough in-person assessment of the current rubber and associated steering/suspension geometry.
