2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OV21 UYM

The recorded MOT history for this 2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV shows a clean pattern of roadworthiness across its three annual tests, with passes on 18 April 2024, 23 April 2025, and 14 April 2026, the most recent being a pass with no advisories or defects noted. With no failure points, no advisory items, and no recurring component flags on file, the objective DVSA record presents no mechanical risk indicators through the testing channel. That said, an MOT pass simply confirms the vehicle met minimum statutory standards on the day of test and does not constitute an endorsement of mechanical condition, build integrity, or forward reliability. The absence of advisories over three consecutive years is a neutral data point that supports neither a judgement of quality nor a projection of future durability. With 24,470 miles recorded over approximately five years, annual mileage works out at roughly 4,894 miles per year, which sits below the typical accumulation for a vehicle of this age. Lower annual mileage can result from genuinely light usage, but it can also reflect extended periods off the road, and both histories carry distinct mechanical considerations. The MOT record itself shows consistent annual testing from 2024 through 2026, suggesting the vehicle was in use and presented for test each year, though there is no earlier DVSA entry recorded here. For an EV with relatively few miles, the brake discs and pads may show corrosion or pitting from limited rotational use rather than wear, and the condition of the undertray, high-voltage cable routing, and 12V auxiliary battery should be inspected carefully given the lower mileage profile. From a buyer inspection standpoint, while no specific components were flagged in the MOT data, the test drive and physical inspection should focus on items common to Polestar 2 EVs of this generation. Listen for any abnormal noises from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to knocking or clonking from the front lower wishbones and anti-roll bar links, as these are known wear items on early Polestar 2 models. Check the steering for any vibration or pull, and verify the operation of the one-pedal drive and regenerative braking modes, ensuring smooth transition and consistent deceleration. Inspect the underside for any signs of impact damage or scraping to the undertray and high-voltage battery enclosure, which sits low and can be susceptible to kerb strikes. Inside the cabin, confirm full functionality of the infotainment system, including the central tablet display response, navigation, climate control, and software version, as earlier Polestar 2 units have experienced software-related glitches. Verify that all driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping aid, and the 360-degree camera operate without fault codes or warnings. On the mechanical side, check for any warning messages relating to the high-voltage battery state of health, the 12V battery status, and tyre pressure monitoring, and inspect the charging port and cable for damage. Finally, examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting consistent with light use rather than pad imprinting, and confirm the tyres are of matching age and specification with sufficient tread depth, as these are routine but worthwhile physical confirmations for any prospective buyer.
