2024 Polestar 2 EV RWD Electric · OV74 ULL

At the time of writing, there is no official DVSA MOT test history on file for this 2024 Polestar 2. It is important to note that purely electric vehicles registered from 2024 onwards are not legally required to undergo an MOT test until they reach three years of age, which means this vehicle will not become MOT-testable until 2027. Consequently, the absence of any recorded test results is entirely normal for a two-year-old example and does not in itself indicate any mechanical concern, neglect, or defect. Any assessment of the vehicle's roadworthiness must therefore be based on a physical inspection and verification of its manufacturer service history rather than on statutory test data. Because no prior failures or advisories are recorded, there is no pattern from which to infer a worsening or improving maintenance trend. Regarding recorded mileage, no odometer reading has been supplied, and the dataset does not allow a meaningful comparison between annual usage and the vehicle's age. For a 2024 Polestar 2, an average mileage in the region of 6,000 to 10,000 miles per year would be considered typical for a privately owned vehicle, though lower figures are entirely plausible for a second car or a household with shorter commuting needs. Higher than average mileage is not a particular concern on an EV in terms of powertrain longevity, but lower mileage introduces its own considerations, particularly with regard to tyres, brake components and undercarriage condition, all of which are addressed below. Any significant gaps in service history or unusually rapid accumulation of mileage should be verified against the digital service record held by Polestar or an authorised workshop. For a prospective buyer of an electric vehicle of this age with no MOT history, the inspection priorities shift towards items that degrade through age and standing rather than through use. Tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that have spent long periods stationary, and the tread depth should be confirmed against the legal minimum of 1.6 millimetres. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems on an EV, is known to have a finite service life independent of the high-voltage traction battery and should be load-tested or have its age verified, as failure can result in non-start conditions and dashboard warning messages. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion, as EVs use regenerative braking heavily and the friction brakes may bind or seize if left unused for extended periods, producing a dragging sensation or uneven braking feel on test. Brake fluid should also be confirmed as being changed in line with manufacturer schedules, typically every two years, as it is hygroscopic and degrades with time regardless of mileage. A physical inspection should also confirm the condition of the high-voltage battery state of health through a diagnostic readout, as this is the single most expensive component on the vehicle and its capacity retention is the primary indicator of long-term value. The charging port, cable and onboard charger should be examined for damage, and any warning messages relating to range, charging speed or battery management should be recorded. The suspension, including coil springs, bushes and anti-roll bar links, should be checked for any knocking or deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has been operated on poor road surfaces. All exterior panels, door seals and the panoramic glass roof if fitted should be inspected for water ingress, and the climate control system verified for proper operation. Finally, the digital service record should be verified for the completion of the initial manufacturer inspection and any subsequent Polestar-approved servicing, as this provides the only reliable evidence of mechanical upkeep in the absence of MOT data.
