2023 Polestar 2 Plus EV RWD Electric · OV73 UGP

An unblemished MOT record across four consecutive tests defines this Polestar 2's mechanical story: every examination from October 2024 through to the most recent pass on 11 November 2025 was completed with no defects, no advisories, and no failures of any kind. Not a single worn bush, corroded brake line, or deteriorating tyre has been flagged by any tester, which is notable for a car covering motorway-grade annual distances. The trend is stable and consistently clean, with the latest pass continuing an uninterrupted run of first-time successes. One curiosity in the record is the pair of tests in autumn 2025, passed on 11 October and again on 11 November, suggesting a retest or early renewal rather than any defect-driven revisit, since both were clean passes. The usage profile is the more demanding aspect of this vehicle's history. At roughly 54,726 miles in around three years, the car has averaged approximately 18,000 miles per annum, well above the UK norm and indicative of sustained high-mileage use, most likely regular long-distance or motorway driving. There are no gaps in the testing record and no evidence of the car standing idle for extended periods, so wear will have accumulated steadily and continuously rather than through neglect or storage-related deterioration. For an electric vehicle this pattern has specific implications: regenerative braking means friction brakes see relatively light duty, but suspension components, wheel bearings, tyres, and steering linkages still absorb the full effect of 55,000 miles of road use, and the drive unit and reduction gear have been worked harder than on a typical three-year-old example. Given the absence of any flagged defects, the buyer's inspection should focus on the wear items that high mileage affects regardless of test outcomes. On a test drive, listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension over broken surfaces, which would point to tired anti-roll bar links, drop links, or control arm bushes, and check for any humming or droning that rises with road speed, a classic symptom of a worn wheel bearing. Assess the tyres carefully for even tread wear across all four corners, since a heavy, torque-rich EV driven at this rate can wear tyres quickly, and uneven shoulder wear may indicate alignment issues not yet severe enough to attract an advisory. Braking performance also deserves attention despite the clean record: because regenerative braking does most of the work, the friction discs and pads can develop surface corrosion and the calipers can begin to stick from infrequent use, so feel for any judder through the pedal or steering wheel under firm braking and listen for scraping after the car has been standing. Finally, verify the high-voltage battery's state of health through the vehicle's diagnostics or a dealer report, confirm the charging history and that both AC and rapid DC charging function correctly, and check for any outstanding software updates or recalls. Overall this is a well-used but demonstrably roadworthy example, and the purchase decision should hinge on battery condition and suspension wear rather than anything in its exemplary test history.
