2024 Polestar 4 EV AWD Electric · OV74 CSO

No MOT test history is presently recorded for this 2024 Polestar 4 EV AWD, meaning the vehicle has either not yet reached the three-year threshold for its first compulsory roadworthiness examination or no test results have been uploaded to the DVSA database. As a battery electric vehicle first registered in 2024, it would not normally become MOT testable until 2027, so the absence of records at this stage is entirely expected rather than a cause for concern. Because there are no prior test outcomes, advisories, or failure data on which to base a trend analysis, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the official record is that no statutory roadworthiness verification has yet been carried out, leaving the buyer to rely on alternative indicators of mechanical condition. Recorded mileage is not available for comparison against the vehicle's age, and with no prior MOT or service data on file, it is impossible to establish an annual usage rate or to detect any unusual gaps or accelerations in driving history. For a vehicle of this type and age, typical accumulation would be in the region of eight to twelve thousand miles per year for a privately used example, but without confirmed readings any such estimate remains speculative. The buyer should therefore satisfy themselves that the present odometer reading is supported by verifiable documentation, such as Polestar digital service records or independent diagnostic interrogation of the vehicle's telematics, to confirm that mileage is both accurate and consistent with the car's apparent wear and tear. In the absence of any recorded defects or advisories, the practical inspection guidance must focus on age-and-low-use-appropriate checks that apply to a near-new electric vehicle. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall cracking, perishing, or distortion from age rather than simply tread depth, particularly if the car has been standing for prolonged periods, and uneven shoulder wear could indicate alignment irregularities or torque-steer issues specific to a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. Brake discs and calipers warrant careful scrutiny, as EVs frequently suffer from corrosion and binding due to the regenerative braking system minimising caliper movement; seize or corrosion on the rear calipers is common and can produce a pulling sensation or uneven pad wear. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, the high-voltage traction battery state of health, charging cable and port condition, suspension bushes, CV joint gaiters, and underbody corrosion protection all merit physical inspection, along with verification that all required service intervals documented by Polestar have been completed. Given the lack of MOT history, the buyer should also request evidence of the manufacturer's recommended inspections, which on a Polestar 4 would typically include brake fluid replacement, cabin filter service, and a high-voltage system health check at the prescribed intervals. Any warning messages relating to tyre pressure monitoring, driver assistance systems, or battery management should be interrogated via a full diagnostic scan, as these would not normally appear on an MOT but can indicate latent faults. A thorough test drive should be conducted with attention to any unusual noises from the suspension over uneven surfaces, vibrations through the steering wheel that could denote wheel imbalance or driveshaft concerns, and consistent regenerative braking response. Finally, confirming the vehicle's provenance through a HPI or similar provenance check, together with verification of outstanding manufacturer warranty cover, will provide additional assurance in the absence of any statutory test record on which to rely.
