2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · BW 146

The most recent MOT test on 5 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, maintaining a consistent and stable maintenance trend. The vehicle has achieved clean passes in 2025 and 2024 as well, with no advisories or failures noted in the official DVSA records. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets all regulatory safety and emissions requirements, showing no signs of deteriorating mechanical or structural integrity over the recorded period. The recorded mileage of 19,301 miles indicates an annual usage rate of approximately 3,860 miles, which is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also implies the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. In electric vehicles, low usage can lead to different maintenance requirements compared to high-mileage counterparts, as components may suffer from age-related degradation rather than mechanical attrition. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur when rubber is not regularly rotated or used. Even with deep tread, aged tyres can lose their structural integrity and grip. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension by listening for any clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate that suspension bushes have hardened or perished due to inactivity. You should also check for any brake shudder or pulling to one side, as long periods of standing can lead to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers. Finally, ensure that time-based servicing has been adhered to, as fluid degradation, such as brake fluid moisture absorption, occurs regardless of mileage. It is also prudent to verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the main high-voltage battery through the vehicle's onboard systems, as infrequent charging cycles can sometimes affect battery longevity. Confirming that the service book contains stamps for scheduled inspections will provide further assurance that the vehicle has been cared for despite its low annual mileage.
