2022 Polestar 2 EV FWD 2.4L Electricity · B5 RYJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-30 at 114,048 miles was passed, but this follows an immediate failure on 2026-03-25 at the identical mileage. This pattern suggests unresolved issues that were not adequately addressed between tests, indicating a lack of stability in critical systems. The absence of recorded defects in both the failed and subsequent passed tests raises questions about the thoroughness of repairs or inspections, particularly given the high mileage at which these events occurred. The mileage accumulation shows a consistent but accelerated rate, with 28,512 miles added annually since 2022. Between 2024 and 2025, the odometer increased by 17,012 miles in one year, accelerating further to 11,383 miles in the final year. This rapid progression implies regular use, which could exacerbate wear on high-mileage-sensitive components such as suspension bushings, brake discs, or exhaust systems. However, the data does not reveal significant gaps or irregularities, suggesting the vehicle has been in continuous operation without prolonged storage. Recurring failures at similar mileage points warrant scrutiny of components prone to gradual degradation. The suspension and braking systems are particularly critical here, as binding calipers, worn coil springs, or corrosion in structural joints could manifest under stress at high mileages. The absence of specific defect reports in the MOT history does not guarantee mechanical soundness; buyers should prioritize inspecting these areas for wear, play, or signs of neglect. Additionally, the exhaust system and electrical components should be checked, as high-mileage EVs may experience battery management or sensor-related issues over time.
