Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-
When inspecting this specific Polestar 2, your primary focus should be on the recent MOT failure regarding the rear tyres. Ensure that both the offside and nearside rear tyres have been replaced with high-quality, matching units following the failure on 26 March 2026.
Ask the seller for documentation confirming this work was completed. Additionally, because the 2024 MOT noted that underside plastic shields prevented a full inspection, you should request a visual check of the underbody to ensure no damage has occurred to the battery casing or suspension components, which is standard practice for high-performance EVs.
As an all-electric vehicle, running costs are largely determined by your home charging setup versus public rapid charging. The AWD configuration typically places the vehicle in a higher insurance group than the single-motor variants, so obtain a quote specifically for this Pilot Plus trim.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally lower than internal combustion engine equivalents due to fewer moving parts, though tyres can be a significant expense given the vehicle's weight and torque. Expect annual running costs to fall within the £1,200-£1,600 range, depending heavily on annual mileage and electricity tariffs.
The most critical item to inspect is the condition of the tyres. The MOT history shows a failure in March 2026 with both rear tyres showing significant wear (deep cuts and exposed cords). Confirm these have been replaced.
Furthermore, refer back to the 2024 MOT advisory regarding the underside plastic shields. While this was a 'pass' with an advisory, it means the inspector could not fully verify the condition of the underbody components. It is worth checking for any signs of scrapes or impact damage to these covers, as they are essential for protecting the vehicle's electrical architecture.
This 2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD, finished in Grey, has covered 40,909 miles since its registration in April 2021. The mileage is slightly above the model average of 10,456 miles per year, reflecting more intensive use. While the MOT history is mostly clean, a failure in March 2026 due to tyre defects indicates a recent need for maintenance.
Aggregate data from 3,105 analysed vehicles shows an 87.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres and drivetrain components like drive shaft or prop shaft joints.
