2021 Polestar 2 EV FWD Electricity · OV71 XAL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 11 December 2025 at 68,023 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a momentary failure earlier on that same day. The tester flagged significant defects on both the nearside and offside rear tyres caused by cuts reaching the ply cords, indicating that the previous owner addressed these safety-critical issues immediately prior to the retest. At five years old, the recorded 68,023 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 13,600 miles, which exceeds the national average for modern electric vehicles. The data shows that between the December 2024 test at 50,573 miles and the December 2025 test, the car covered 17,450 miles in a single year. This high rate of accumulation puts significant demand on wear-related components, particularly suspension bushings and braking systems, which undergo constant stress cycles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the wheel assembly to ensure no hidden structural damage exists from the impacts that previously damaged tyres. Given the high mileage, close attention must be paid to the control arms, bushings, and shock absorbers for signs of premature wear or tearing. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures, the rapid mileage growth necessitates a check of the brake pad thickness and rotor condition to ensure they have been maintained in line with the vehicle's heavy usage profile.
