2022 Polestar 2 EV AWD Electricity · OV22 ENX

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 26 May 2026 at 25,372 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving and now stable, following a period of tyre-related failures earlier in the lifecycle. After failing the initial March 2025 test on four tyre defects, the car passed just three days later on 10 March 2025 at 16,261 miles, with only minor advisory cuts remaining on the front rubber. That suggests the previous owner acted swiftly to replace the structurally compromised rear tyres while monitoring the shallower front cuts. The subsequent 14-month gap with no further advisories indicates the issue was resolved rather than left to deteriorate. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,343 miles per year, which is typical for a four-year-old electric vehicle. The 9,111-mile jump between March 2025 and May 2026 points to consistent, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the record that would raise concerns about odometer tampering or prolonged standing, which can cause its own problems such as flat-spotted tyres or seized brake components on EVs. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should still inspect the tyre sidewalls carefully in person. The recurring cut damage flagged in March 2025, particularly the ply-exposed rear tyres, suggests the car may have been driven over sharp road debris or poorly maintained surfaces. Check all four tyres for uneven wear patterns and verify the date codes to confirm replacement rubber is recent and matching. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for any play or cracking, as impact damage severe enough to expose tyre cords can also stress those components. The all-wheel-drive electric powertrain places additional torque through the drivetrain, so listen for any whine or clunk from the reduction gearboxes during a short test drive. Examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as regenerative braking systems can sometimes mask early mechanical brake issues until they become severe.
