2021 Polestar 2 Plus EV AWD Electricity · OV71 XAS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 22 December 2025 at 72,082 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester identified surface degradation on both rear brake discs, specifically noting pitting and scoring. This indicates a transition from a clean bill of health in March 2025 to the onset of consumable wear, suggesting that the braking system is now entering a phase where replacement components will be required in the near future. The vehicle has covered 72,082 miles over approximately five years, averaging roughly 14,400 miles annually. This high-mileage usage pattern is consistent, with 9,078 miles added between the March 2025 and December 2025 tests. Such consistent, heavy use typical of motorway driving often places less stress on drivetrain components than short-trip city cycles, though it does accelerate the natural wear rate of suspension bushings, dampers, and tyre tread. The MOT history remains relatively sparse, which is expected for a vehicle of this age, though the lack of long-term data makes it difficult to track recurring structural or electrical trends. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake discs to determine if the pitting has progressed to a point of uneven pad contact or reduced stopping efficiency. Given the high annual mileage, check the condition of the suspension arms and bushes for play, as these components endure significant fatigue over this distance. Inspect the tyres for even wear patterns, as the high mileage suggests the vehicle has likely seen multiple sets of tyres, and any misalignment could indicate previous impact damage or neglected tracking adjustments. Confirm that the regenerative braking system operates smoothly, as heavy reliance on this feature can occasionally lead to the corrosion issues noted on the friction surfaces of the discs.
