2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OV70 YWD

The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 July 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows a stable and improving trajectory. While the 2023 inspection noted advisories regarding both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, the subsequent two years of testing have been entirely clear of defects. This suggests that the previous tyre issues were rectified and that the vehicle has been maintained in a manner that prevents the recurrence of common wear-and-tear failures. The recorded mileage of 51,455 miles over approximately six years represents an annual usage rate of roughly 8,576 miles, which is consistent with typical domestic driving patterns. This level of mileage is neither excessive nor suspiciously low, meaning the vehicle has likely seen regular use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining component health. Mechanically, this moderate usage implies that while the high-voltage battery and electric motors should be in a healthy state, the vehicle is approaching a period where secondary components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake consumables will require more diligent inspection. During your physical inspection and test drive, you should pay particular attention to the tyres to ensure the previous advisories have been fully addressed. Check for even tread wear across the width of the tyre to rule out issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension geometry. Inspect the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age and environmental exposure. On the road, listen for any rhythmic thumping or clunking from the suspension and feel for any vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal, which could indicate worn bushes or unevenly worn brake discs. As this is an electric vehicle, it is also prudent to inspect the braking system for signs of corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of standing. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without any shuddering during deceleration. Finally, although the MOT history is clean, you should verify the service book for evidence of manufacturer-recommended maintenance, specifically regarding coolant levels for the battery thermal management system and any scheduled inspections of the chassis and structural integrity.
