2021 Polestar 2 Plus EV FWD Electricity · OV71 XAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 99,544 miles passed despite the front brake discs identified as worn, pitted, or scored. While the vehicle met the minimum standard, the presence of undertrays prevented a full visual inspection of the chassis and brake pipes, leaving a gap in the data regarding potential corrosion or damage to the lower under-battery components. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 81,101 miles and the November 2025 test at 99,544 miles, the car covered 18,443 miles in just twelve months. This consistent, high-intensity usage places significant stress on the suspension geometry and braking system. The 2024 advisory regarding both rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the edge suggests that alignment issues or suspension wear were neglected during those intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the pitting and scoring have not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. Given the previous uneven wear on the rear tyres, an inspection of the control arm bushes and shock absorbers is essential to check for premature failure. Because the MOT tester could not access the chassis due to the undertrays, it is vital to visually check for any signs of fluid leaks or physical damage to the high-voltage cabling and brake lines that high-mileage driving may have exacerbated.
