2023 Polestar 2 EV FWD Electric · OW23 KUN

The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. For a vehicle of this age, a clean MOT certificate indicates that the car currently meets all essential DVSA safety and environmental standards. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no indications of recurring failures or deteriorating mechanical conditions in the official record, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy state. The recorded mileage of 38,278 miles represents an annual average of approximately 12,759 miles, which is relatively high for a three-year-old electric vehicle. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or long-distance travel rather than sitting idle. Mechanically, this higher mileage means that consumable parts such as tyres, suspension components, and brake hardware will likely have experienced more significant wear than a vehicle with lower mileage. While the electric drivetrain itself is generally low-maintenance, the chassis and running gear will have been subjected to more frequent stress and road surface interaction. As the MOT record is clean, your inspection should focus on physical wear and tear consistent with high annual mileage. During a test drive, listen closely for any knocks, clunks, or rattles from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or fatigued coil springs. Examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues, and check the brake discs for any signs of heavy scoring or surface corrosion. Although regenerative braking reduces the load on the friction brakes, it is still vital to ensure the calipers are not binding and that the braking performance is smooth and free from any shuddering. Additionally, you should verify the service history to confirm that all manufacturer-specified maintenance, including brake fluid changes and cooling system checks, has been performed according to the mileage intervals. Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure there are no signs of impact damage to the underside or the battery casing. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the steering linkage and wheel bearings for any play or noise is also recommended to ensure the vehicle's handling remains precise and safe.
