2021 Genesis G80 Luxury Line T AWD Auto 2.5L Petrol · OU71 AVT

The Genesis G80 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 November 2025 at 28,715 miles with zero defects recorded. The only blemish on the record occurred during the March 2024 test at 11,880 miles, where the tester flagged both the nearside and offside headlamp aim as too high under item 4.1.2 (a). That defect was rectified on the same day, and the subsequent test over a year later confirms the issue has not recurred. No structural corrosion, suspension wear, brake faults, or exhaust emissions failures appear at any point, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021 vehicle, averaging roughly 5,743 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 11,880 miles and the November 2025 test at 28,715 miles, the car covered 16,835 miles in approximately 20 months, which represents a marked increase in usage after a period of lighter running. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is longer than the standard annual cycle, suggesting the previous owner may have delayed the 2025 test or the vehicle stood unused for stretches. Despite the low overall mileage, the sudden uptick in activity warrants closer attention to components that deteriorate with use rather than age alone. A buyer inspecting this G80 in person should focus on the front suspension lower arms and bushes, as well as the condition of the brake discs and pads, since these components experience accelerated wear once a low-mileage car enters a higher-use phase. The headlamp aim defect from 2024, while resolved, justifies checking that the self-levelling suspension and headlamp adjustment mechanisms function correctly, particularly if the vehicle has been carrying heavy loads. Tyre condition and sidewall integrity also deserve scrutiny, as low annual mileage can lead to aged rubber with less visible tread wear. The exhaust system and subframe mounting points should be examined for early corrosion, a common risk on lightly used luxury saloons that make short trips in damp conditions.
