2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OV70 VVT

The most recent MOT, carried out on 5 November 2025, resulted in a Pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements at that time. The only negative entry in the six‑year history is a single failure on 27 October 2023 for an off‑side rear inner tyre that had a cut reaching the ply, which would have required tyre replacement. The subsequent three consecutive passes demonstrate that the issue was remedied and that the overall maintenance trend has moved from a one‑off corrective action to a stable, compliant condition. At 58 653 miles the Polestar 2 has logged roughly 9 800 miles per annum since its first registration in 2020. This annual average sits squarely within the normal UK usage envelope for a family saloon and does not suggest either excessive short‑trip wear or prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage progression is linear, with no large gaps that would hint at long storage intervals, and therefore the wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components should be consistent with a vehicle of its age rather than being accelerated by high‑kilometre abuse. For a prospective buyer the primary visual and tactile checks should focus on the condition of all four tyres, not only for tread depth but also for sidewall age; tyre sidewalls deteriorate with calendar time even if mileage is modest, so verify the DOT code to confirm the tyres are less than six years old. During a low‑speed test drive listen for any irregular noises from the rear axle or suspension – clunks, squeaks or rattles may indicate worn bushings, deteriorated coil springs or a loose rear sub‑frame, issues that can become more apparent after several years of service. Examine the brake discs for uneven wear, scoring or excessive rust, and confirm that the regenerative braking system operates smoothly without pulsation, as the high‑voltage system can mask early disc wear. Also check that the high‑voltage battery cooling system shows no leaks, that the coolant is at the correct level and is clear, and that the 12‑volt auxiliary battery terminals are free of corrosion; a battery health check at a qualified EV service centre will reveal any capacity loss that can affect range. Finally, verify that the service history includes the manufacturer‑recommended calendar‑based fluid changes – coolant, brake fluid and, where applicable, the high‑voltage coolant – as these fluids degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the under‑body for any signs of rust or corrosion, particularly around the rear sub‑frame and wheel arches, which can develop in vehicles that have spent time standing idle. Ensure that the software version of the vehicle’s control units is up to date, as Polestar regularly issues over‑the‑air updates that address battery management and drivetrain efficiency. If all these items are satisfactory, the Polestar 2 appears to be in a sound mechanical state for its age and mileage.
