2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · MB64 RAS

The most recent MOT inspection on 16 March 2026 resulted in a pass, but the overall maintenance trend shows a slight downward trajectory regarding consumable components. While the vehicle recorded no defects in March 2024, the subsequent two years have seen recurring advisories related to tyre condition and wear. This pattern suggests that while the vehicle is fundamentally roadworthy, the owner may be running tyres close to their legal limits rather than performing proactive replacements, which can impact overall safety, grip, and handling. With 68,329 miles recorded over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 13,666 miles per annum. This represents a high level of usage for a relatively modern electric vehicle. Such consistent mileage accumulation implies that the vehicle has likely been used for significant commuting or long-distance travel. Mechanically, this higher-than-average mileage places greater stress on the suspension system, steering components, and braking hardware. The significant weight of an all-wheel-drive electric vehicle further exacerbates the wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls compared to lighter petrol or diesel counterparts. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges of the tread. This specific defect often points to underlying issues with wheel alignment, camber settings, or worn suspension geometry. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration from the tyres, and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level surface. Any clunking or knocking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces could indicate that suspension bushes or dampers are nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, given the high mileage and the weight of the vehicle, inspect the brake discs for signs of heavy scoring or uneven thickness and ensure the calipers are not binding. It is also advisable to verify the service history to confirm that essential fluids and cooling systems for the high-voltage battery have been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule.
