2022 Polestar 2 Plus EV FWD Electric · AE13 ASH

As an electric vehicle, this Polestar 2 benefits from lower running costs compared to petrol or diesel equivalents. You will save on fuel costs through home charging and benefit from current zero-rate Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for electric cars, though you should check for any upcoming changes to EV taxation.

Maintenance costs are generally lower due to fewer moving parts, but tyres on EVs can wear faster due to the vehicle's weight and high torque output. Budget for periodic cabin air filter replacements and brake fluid changes as per the manufacturer's schedule to maintain the vehicle's integrity.

While the vehicle passed its 2025 MOT with no defects, you should conduct a physical inspection of the exterior to check for any bodywork damage, particularly around the bumpers and sills. Inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as windscreen washer issues and visibility defects are among the most frequent failure points for this model.

Test all electronic features, including the infotainment screen and driver assistance systems, as these are complex components. Ensure that the charging port door operates smoothly and that the vehicle accepts a charge without error messages appearing on the dashboard.
