2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OV70 MYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. It passed the most recent October 2025 test at 86,091 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 86,017 miles. The failure was caused by exposed cords on both front tyres and significant inner wear on the rear tyres. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed consumable defects when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine inspections. At 86,091 miles over six years, this Polestar has averaged approximately 14,300 miles annually, which sits above the typical average for modern electric vehicles. The data shows a significant surge in usage between September 2023 (47,442 miles) and October 2024 (72,319 miles), covering nearly 25,000 miles in just thirteen months. Such rapid mileage accumulation stresses suspension components and braking systems, especially given the high weight of an AWD electric drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and bushing condition. The recurring inner edge wear on the rear tyres noted in 2025 often indicates an alignment issue or worn control arms that have not been properly rectified. You should also check the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting, as high-mileage EVs can suffer from corrosion if regenerative braking is used exclusively. The deteriorated front registration plate mentioned in both 2025 tests is a minor cosmetic failure but reinforces the general trend of neglected attention to vehicle detail.
