2026 Polestar 4 Plus EV RWD Electricity · OV26 VKC

The vehicle in question, a 2026 Polestar Polestar 4 Plus EV RWD, currently has no recorded DVSA MOT history available for review. As a vehicle first registered in 2026, it would not yet be required to undertake its first statutory MOT test until it reaches three years of age, rendering the absence of test data entirely consistent with its status as a nearly new car. Without any prior test outcomes, failure points, or advisories on record, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend, whether stable, worsening, or improving, as the vehicle has not yet been subjected to the official roadworthiness inspection regime administered by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. With no mileage data provided and no MOT records against which annual usage can be calculated, it is not possible to assess the vehicle's mileage relative to its age. The Polestar 4 Plus is an electric vehicle, and as such, its mechanical wear profile differs considerably from that of a conventional internal combustion vehicle, with no exhaust emissions, oil changes, or traditional engine servicing requirements. However, the absence of recorded mileage does present a limitation in evaluating usage patterns, and any prospective buyer should request full documentation of the vehicle's odometer readings from the supplying dealer or previous owner, alongside any evidence of manufacturer-approved servicing intervals having been followed. Given the clean MOT history and the inherent limitations of extrapolating from absent data, practical buyer inspection advice should focus on age-and-usage-appropriate physical checks relevant to the vehicle's profile. Although the Polestar 4 is new, any car that has stood on a forecourt or in storage for an extended period may exhibit early signs of brake disc corrosion due to infrequent use, particularly surface oxidation on the otherwise protected disc faces, which can manifest as brake shudder or vibration upon initial application. The buyer should verify the condition of the high-voltage 12V auxiliary battery, as these can degrade prematurely if the vehicle has been left standing without regular charging cycles, and should also confirm that the main traction battery retains its expected state of health via a diagnostic readout from an authorised Polestar service centre. Further inspection guidance includes a thorough check of the tyres for any sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles due to environmental exposure and the natural degradation of the rubber compound over time, and verification of correct tyre pressures as specified on the vehicle's placard. The buyer should examine the underside of the vehicle, where accessible, for any signs of fluid leakage from the cooling system or reduction gearbox, both of which are serviced by time-based rather than mileage-based intervals on electric vehicles, and confirm that brake fluid has been renewed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations, typically every two to three years regardless of mileage. A test drive should be conducted with particular attention paid to any abnormal noises from the suspension, as coil springs and bushes can deteriorate from standing exposure to the elements, and the regenerative braking system should be observed for smooth and consistent deceleration across all selectable modes.
