2024 Polestar 4 EV RWD Electric · OV74 WBF

With no MOT test results recorded against this 2024 Polestar 4 EV, the defining mechanical reality is that there is simply no verifiable DVSA history on file from which any assessment of roadworthiness can be drawn. Given that cars in the United Kingdom do not become MOT eligible until they reach three years of age, the absence of any recorded test against a 2024 registration is consistent with the vehicle not yet having reached its initial MOT anniversary, as MOT testing is not required until the vehicle is three years old from first registration. As such as the lack of any DVSA-recorded test, failure, or advisory list should be regarded as the absence of regulatory evidence, not as a positive indicator of mechanical condition. Any prospective buyer is therefore entirely reliant on the vendor's own representations regarding condition, pre-delivery inspection, and any remedial work undertaken. Without recorded odometer readings from MOT tests, it is not possible to verify the vehicle's annual mileage accumulation, confirm whether the car has been used predominantly for short urban trips, longer motorway commutes, or left standing for extended periods, or detect any unusual gaps in usage. Given that Polestar 4 models are relatively recent additions to the UK market and the Polestar 4 is an electric vehicle with high-voltage architecture, the absence of mileage corroboration from MOT records is particularly relevant, as battery health and high-voltage component integrity cannot be assessed without either a current MOT record or a manufacturer-authorised inspection report. Any mileage stated by the vendor should be independently verified against the Polestar digital service record or a third-party telematics check before purchase, as without test-recorded mileage, there is no DVSA-independent benchmark to compare against. From a buyer guidance perspective, the priority inspection items shift away from DVSA-flagged components and toward areas that would normally be captured during a first MOT test on a three-year-old car. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the tyres, as EV vehicles are heavy and torque-rich, leading to accelerated rear-axle tyre wear, especially on a rear-wheel-drive configuration such as this. Brake discs and pads should be examined for corrosion pitting or seizure, as EV regenerative braking frequently leads to corroded rear discs due to limited application of the friction brakes during normal driving. On a road test, listen for any knocks or clonks from the front and rear suspension over uneven surfaces, as the Polestar 4 uses multi-link rear suspension geometry that is susceptible to worn bushes or drop links under hard use. A pre-purchase inspection by a Polestar-authorised service centre or an independent EV-trained specialist is strongly recommended, as this would establish the current state of the high-voltage battery pack State of Health, the 12V auxiliary battery condition, the charging system integrity, and any manufacturer-issued software updates or recalls that may have been applied since registration. The test drive should include a full warm-up cycle with hard acceleration to verify there are no warning messages on the driver display, no unusual vibrations from the drive units, and consistent regenerative braking feel. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of impact damage, as the low ride height and undertray configuration can be vulnerable to kerbing or speed-bump strikes. Without MOT evidence to support the purchase, a thorough independent inspection is the only practical means of substantiating the mechanical condition of this vehicle.
