2023 Polestar 2 Plus EV RWD Electricity · OV73 UDM

A clean and consistently successful MOT record defines this 2023 Polestar 2, with all four recorded tests returning passes and no advisories or failures logged. The most recent examination on 28 April 2026 concluded with no defects recorded, and the same outcome applied to the three prior visits in May 2025, November 2025, and October 2024. The absence of any flagged items across four consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has not yet presented any of the typical wear concerns such as brake component degradation, suspension bush deterioration, or underbody corrosion that often surface on vehicles of this age. As an electric vehicle with regenerative braking, reduced friction-brake wear would also be expected, which may partly explain the absence of brake-related advisories so far. The recorded mileage of 64,823 against a registration suggesting a three-year-old vehicle equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 21,600 miles, a notably high rate that places the car well above the average for its age. This level of use implies that high-wear items such as tyres, suspension components, brake discs and pads (despite regen benefits), and the drive unit bearings will have accumulated significant real-world fatigue. The MOT test does not assess battery state of health or degradation in drive components, so the high usage profile warrants additional mechanical scrutiny beyond what the official record shows. The relatively even spacing of tests without long periods off the road also suggests the vehicle has been in continuous service rather than left stationary for extended intervals. Given the clean advisory history, a prospective buyer should still perform a focused physical inspection of components that the MOT would not necessarily have flagged at such an early stage. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition carefully, as high-mileage use accelerates shoulder wear and uneven tread pattern depletion, and check the wheels for any kerbing damage. On the test drive, listen for any suspension knocks or clonks over uneven surfaces, particularly from the front lower arms, anti-roll bar bushes, and rear multi-link components, as these are common wear points on the Polestar 2 platform. Pay attention to any steering vagueness, knocking from the column, or uneven tyre wear patterns which might indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues arising from the high mileage. Inspect the underside of the vehicle, ideally with it raised on a ramp, paying particular attention to the underbody protection panels, suspension subframes, and brake lines for any early signs of corrosion or damage from road debris. Check that all high-voltage charging cables and the charging port show no signs of damage or overheating, and verify that the 12V auxiliary battery (located in the front compartment) is secure and free from corrosion at its terminals, as its failure can cause multiple warning systems to malfunction. Confirm that the infotainment and driver display systems operate without flickering or rebooting, and ensure that all driver assistance functions, including the reversing camera and parking sensors, are fully operational, as these systems are not assessed under the MOT but are critical to the vehicle's roadworthiness in practice.
