2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OV21 UYA

A clean three-test DVSA record accompanies this 2021 Polestar 2, with the most recent examination on 16 April 2026 resulting in a pass and only a single minor windscreen damage item recorded against it. The two earlier tests in April 2024 and April 2025 also passed, the 2024 entry carrying an advisory noting that a full-length undertray obscured inspection of components from front to rear. Across the three recorded tests there are no advisories relating to suspension components, brake wear, steering, corrosion, tyres, or structural integrity, and no failures or refusals have been logged at any point. The vehicle therefore presents an unblemished official roadworthiness record, though it should be remembered that MOT testing is a snapshot of safety and emissions compliance at a point in time and does not constitute a service history or a mechanical condition report. With three annual test entries and a recorded mileage of 31,818 miles at the most recent test, the car has covered approximately 6,360 miles per year on average over its five-year life, which sits within the expected usage range for an EV of this age. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline and no anomalous jumps in recorded odometer readings between the 2024 and 2026 entries that would suggest clocked mileage or extended periods off the road. This consistent, moderate rate of accumulation is mechanically favourable for the Polestar 2, as the front and rear electric drive units, regenerative braking system, and air suspension components will have been exercised regularly rather than left to deteriorate through long periods of standing, which is a known concern for lithium-ion traction batteries and undertray-fitted EVs. Because the 2024 advisory specifically mentioned that an undertray fitted from front to rear prevented full visual inspection of underbody components, any prospective buyer should ensure that this panel is removed or partially lowered during a pre-purchase inspection. With it out of the way, pay particular attention to the condition of the front and rear subframes, suspension arms, anti-roll bar linkages, and the exposed brake discs and pads, as none of these items could be formally inspected at the last opportunity and their wear status remains unverified by DVSA. Inspect the undertray fixings themselves, as Polestar undertrays are prone to cracking around mounting points and missing clips can allow road noise and debris ingress. On a road test, the specific symptoms worth probing given this vehicle's profile are tied to its dual-motor configuration and regenerative braking system. Listen for any clonks or creaks from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, particularly from the lower control arms and anti-roll bar drop links, which are known wear items on this platform. Feel for any vibration or judder through the steering wheel under braking, which could indicate disc warping despite the regenerative system, and check that the brake pedal feels firm and consistent rather than spongy. Because the 2026 test recorded minor windscreen damage, examine the windscreen chip closely for any propagation across the driver's swept area, as MOT criteria for a chip in the driver's primary view are stricter than the minor category recorded. Finally, request evidence of recent high-voltage battery state-of-health diagnostics, traction battery coolant changes, and any software updates applied, as these items are outside the scope of MOT testing entirely but are critical to long-term EV reliability.
