2021 Polestar 2 EV FWD Electric · OV71 SXU

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by two consecutive MOT passes with no recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 15 October 2025 confirmed the vehicle’s compliance at 46,487 miles. This consistent passing record suggests that the mechanical systems, including the EV powertrain and associated components, are functioning within expected parameters and that routine maintenance has been performed effectively. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The test on 24 October 2024 recorded 34,982 miles, and the subsequent inspection at 46,487 miles on 15 October 2025 shows a steady accumulation of approximately 11,505 miles over a period of one year. This rate of wear is appropriate, indicating regular driving without any sudden, unexplained spikes in mileage that would suggest a recent, unrecorded incident or a failure in the vehicle’s mechanical integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas typical for a five-year-old EV. While the MOT history is clean, attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension components, specifically the coil springs and suspension bushes, which often require replacement around this mileage. Inspection of the brake discs and pads should confirm adequate material thickness, and checking the condition of the battery cooling system and associated wiring is essential given the vehicle's electric nature. Structural integrity checks should include a thorough examination of the underbody for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points. The clean MOT history provides confidence in the mechanical readiness of the vehicle, but a physical inspection remains necessary to confirm the absence of hidden structural issues or significant wear on wear items such as tyres and wiper systems.
