2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OV21 BJU

This Polestar 2 presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 8 April 2026 at 34,304 miles returning a clean pass apart from a minor advisory. The offside rear tyre was flagged for slight damage, cracking or perishing under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii), a low-severity observation that does not constitute a failure but warrants monitoring. Looking back across the record, the maintenance trend is broadly improving. The vehicle failed its April 2025 test at 29,728 miles due to multiple tyre defects, including an offside front tyre cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords, yet by the very next test on 15 April 2025 at 29,729 miles it passed with only minor advisories. That rapid turnaround suggests the previous owner addressed the serious defect promptly. The subsequent two tests, in April 2024 and April 2026, both passed, indicating consistent upkeep over the past two years. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,861 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age and does not raise concerns about excessive wear or, conversely, long periods of inactivity that can cause its own problems such as brake seizure or tyre flat-spotting. The annual tests fall at regular April intervals, and the recorded mileages progress steadily from 21,082 in April 2024 to 29,728 in April 2025 and then to 34,304 in April 2026, showing no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The data set is clean and consistent, which supports the conclusion that this car has been driven regularly and serviced on a predictable schedule. The recurring theme across the MOT history is tyre condition. Advisories and failures have centred almost entirely on cuts, perishing and cracking affecting the nearside front and offside rear positions. While these are consumable items and not indicative of deeper mechanical fault, the pattern of repeated tyre advisories across three consecutive tests suggests the owner may have been slow to replace tyres showing early deterioration. A buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully, checking the date codes, sidewall condition and tread depth, and confirm whether the most recent advisory on the offside rear has been rectified. Beyond tyres, the record is notably free of suspension, braking, structural or corrosion-related advisories, which is encouraging for an electric vehicle of this age. Still, a physical inspection should include a close look at the underside for stone-chip damage, a check of the brake discs and pads for even wear given the regenerative braking system's tendency to reduce mechanical braking use, and a thorough assessment of the battery enclosure and charge ports for any signs of ingress or impact damage not captured by the MOT.
