How many Genesis GV80s are left in Great Britain?

There were 282 Genesis GV80s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 6 declared off the road (SORN). That is the most on the road at any year end since 2021.

Genesis GV80 MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Genesis GV80s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Genesis GV80 engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 288 Genesis GV80s licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 73.6% have an engine of 2,401cc to 2,500cc, and 26.4% have an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc. The share with an engine of 2,401cc to 2,500cc has grown from 40.2% in 2022 to 73.6%. Petrols made up 40.2% of those licensed in 2022 and 73.6% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Genesis GV80 fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Genesis GV80 from 2021, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2021 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 25.3 to 33.1 mpg, with CO2 of 226 to 248 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “GV80”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Genesis GV80 safety recalls

All 3 Genesis GV80 recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Genesis GV80. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
