2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · ADZ 624

A history of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, despite a singular dangerous failure recorded in August 2024. The most recent test on 27 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, following a successful inspection in September 2025. This indicates a recent trend of passing inspections without recorded mechanical issues, though the 2024 failure specifically highlighted significant tyre degradation with exposed cords in the tread on the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear. The recorded mileage of 46,727 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,345 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed or heavy-duty long-distance transit, there is sufficient usage to warrant a close inspection of consumable components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyre tread depth, which are subject to standard wear. Given the specific dangerous failure regarding tyre integrity in 2024, a prospective buyer should verify that all four tyres have been replaced since that date and are not merely repaired. During a test drive, pay close attention to any vibration through the steering wheel or a rhythmic thumping sound from the wheel arches, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or internal structural damage to the rubber. It is also prudent to check for any unevenness in tyre wear patterns, which might suggest underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. While the recent MOT records show no current defects, the previous failure regarding multiple tyre cuts suggests the vehicle has encountered significant road debris or harsh driving conditions. Beyond the tyres, the buyer should listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages or coil springs. Because this is an all-wheel-drive electric vehicle, ensuring the drivetrain operates smoothly without any unusual whining or heavy vibration during acceleration is essential to confirm the mechanical integrity of the electric motors and associated components.
