POLESTAR 22021 · ELECTRICITY

This 2021 Polestar 2 has recorded 81,436 miles, which is roughly 16,300 miles per year. This is high mileage for a five-year-old vehicle, suggesting it has likely been used for heavy commuting or long-distance travel rather than short trips. The most recent MOT on 17 April 2026 was a clean pass with no defects recorded. The condition trend looks stable and improving following a significant failure in April 2024. At that time, the car failed due to serious rear tyre issues, including cuts deep enough to reach the cords and perishing on both the offside and nearside rear tyres. There was also a failure for a frayed offside front seat belt. However, the vehicle passed the very next day, and the two subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 show no further defects or advisories. The main risk pattern in the history concerns tyre health and potential alignment. The 2024 failure specifically noted wearing on the inner edge of both rear tyres, which can sometimes indicate suspension or tracking issues. While the clean MOTs since then suggest the repairs were effective, the high mileage accelerates wear on these components.
