2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · R12 OCY

The Polestar 2 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 12 July 2025 at 29,631 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 8 October 2024 at 24,474 miles also passed, though the tester noted the tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp was illuminated and that a full undertray and battery cover prevented a complete underside inspection. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear on the record, and the trajectory from a minor advisory to a completely clean result suggests attentive ownership and no deterioration in roadworthiness. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021 vehicle. Across roughly five years of use, the recorded mileage of 29,631 equates to approximately 5,926 miles per year, well below the UK average. The gap between the October 2024 and July 2025 tests covers 5,157 miles over nine months, indicating a modest uptick in usage during that period but nothing that would raise concern about excessive wear. The sparse two-test history is consistent with a vehicle that has been lightly used, and there is no evidence of mileage anomalies or gaps that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged inactivity. Buyers should still approach the underside with scrutiny. The October 2024 advisory regarding the full undertray and battery cover blocking inspection means no tester has had an unobstructed view of the subframe, suspension mounting points, or battery tray condition since at least that date. A physical inspection should prioritise checking the condition of lower suspension arms, anti-roll bar links, and driveshaft boots, along with any signs of corrosion on the structural floor pan and battery housing. The tyre pressure monitoring system fault recorded in 2024 was resolved by the following test, but verifying sensor functionality and tyre condition at the current mileage remains prudent. The four-wheel-drive electric powertrain and regenerative braking system should be evaluated under test drive conditions. With no mechanical defects flagged across either MOT, the primary risk areas are those that could not be fully assessed due to the undertray restriction. A pre-purchase inspection that removes the battery cover to examine the chassis rails, suspension geometry, and brake components would provide the most meaningful assurance of the vehicle's structural and mechanical integrity going forward.
