2025 Polestar 4 EV AWD Electric · OV25 LUD

The DVSA database contains no MOT record for this 2025 Polestar 4 EV, so there is no test outcome to reference and consequently no trend in pass/fail results or advisory items that can be evaluated. The absence of a recorded MOT may simply reflect that the vehicle is still within its initial three‑year exemption period, rather than indicating any underlying maintenance issue. Mileage information is not supplied, which prevents any comparison of kilometres driven against the vehicle’s age. Without a kilometre figure it is impossible to judge whether the car has been used lightly, as a daily commuter, or has accumulated high mileage in a short period, each of which would have different implications for wear on suspension components, tyre tread, and brake wear. Given the lack of mileage data and the fact that the car is only one year old, the buyer should focus on age‑related checks rather than wear‑related ones. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot, or loss of tread depth that can develop even on low‑mileage EVs if they have been stored for long periods; verify that the tyre pressure sensors are functional and that the recommended pressure is being maintained. Examine the wheel arches, under‑body and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been kept in a damp environment, and check that the coil springs and bushings are free of rust and retain their original elasticity. Because the Polestar 4 is an all‑electric model, confirm that the high‑voltage battery pack shows a healthy state of charge and that the onboard battery management system reports a capacity close to the original specification; any rapid capacity loss could indicate a cooling‑system fault or cell imbalance. Also ensure that the 12 V auxiliary battery is not excessively discharged, as a weak starter battery can cause electronic glitches. On the road, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or steering rack, such as clunks when turning over bumps, which could signal worn bushings or loose mounting bolts. Test the regenerative braking response for smoothness and verify that the conventional hydraulic brakes engage without pulsation or shudder, indicating that the discs and pads are still in good condition despite limited use. Finally, request a full service history, confirming that the manufacturer‑recommended software updates have been applied and that the coolant for the battery thermal management system has been refreshed according to the service schedule, as these time‑based items are critical to the long‑term reliability of a new‑age EV.
