2021 Polestar 2 EV FWD Electricity · OV71 XAM

The Polestar 2 presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passed on 18 February 2026 at 46,940 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend appears stable and well-managed, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults documented across the available record. The vehicle is currently within its valid MOT period, which expires around February 2027, giving a prospective buyer several months of certified compliance from the February 2026 test date. The mileage accumulation pattern is consistent and unremarkable. Between the November 2024 test at 29,187 miles and the February 2026 test at 46,940 miles, the vehicle covered 17,753 miles over approximately 15 months, equating to roughly 11,800 miles per year in that window. This sits slightly above the overall lifetime average of around 9,388 miles per year, suggesting the car has seen somewhat heavier recent use. The record is sparse, with only two documented MOT entries, but both resulted in passes and the mileage progression is logical with no suspicious gaps or anomalies. The only advisory on file relates to a child seat being fitted during the November 2024 inspection, which restricted the tester's access to one adult seatbelt. This is an inspection limitation rather than a mechanical defect and carries no bearing on the vehicle's condition. With no recurring faults, corrosion advisories, suspension wear items, braking defects, or exhaust emissions failures on record, the documented history raises no red flags whatsoever. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. Check the condition of the battery health and charging behaviour, as high-voltage battery degradation is not assessed during standard MOT testing. Inspect the tyre tread depths and sidewalls for uneven wear that could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. Examine the underside for stone damage, corrosion to subframes or suspension mounting points, and the condition of brake discs and pads, which on an EV with regenerative braking may show unusual wear patterns. Test all electronic systems, including the infotainment unit, driver assistance sensors, and over-the-air update functionality, as these are common areas of concern on this model.
