2023 Polestar 2 EV AWD Electricity · OV73 JDK

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 18 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard and that its roadworthiness is currently stable; there is no indication of a deteriorating trend. At three years old the Polestar 2 has logged 20 050 miles, equating to roughly 6 700 miles per annum. This annual usage sits comfortably within the typical private‑owner range for a modern electric hatchback and does not point to any period of intensive high‑speed or heavy‑load operation. The mileage level is low enough that consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads and suspension bushings are unlikely to have reached the end of their service life, although age‑related factors should still be considered. For a prospective buyer the primary focus should be on age‑related checks rather than mileage wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that can develop even on low‑mileage tyres left stationary for extended periods. Examine the wheel arches and under‑body for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the battery cooling inlets and rear‑axle components, as standing can promote rust on steel sub‑frames. Verify the condition of the high‑voltage battery pack by requesting a recent state‑of‑health report or, at a minimum, a visual check of the coolant level and the integrity of the thermal‑management hoses; a well‑maintained pack should show no leaks and the coolant should be clear and at the correct concentration. The regenerative‑braking system will have reduced wear on the friction pads, but a tactile inspection of the front and rear discs for surface scoring and the pads for remaining thickness is still advisable, as the vehicle may still be subject to occasional conventional braking. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s software is up to date and that any manufacturer‑issued over‑the‑air updates have been applied, as these can affect battery management, range estimation and driver‑assist functions. Test all exterior lighting, camera systems and ADAS sensors for proper operation, and ensure the charging port and cable connectors are free from damage or corrosion. A review of the service book for regular 10 000‑mile checks, coolant flushes and any recall work will give further confidence that the Polestar 2 has been looked after in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
