2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OY21 XSA

The Polestar 2 presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 May 2026 at 56,542 miles. The most recent test is only three weeks old, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness status is exceptionally current. While the tester flagged all four brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, the advisory wording explicitly notes they were not seriously weakened. This indicates the braking system is within legal tolerance but has reached a stage of surface degradation typical for an electric vehicle of this age, where regenerative braking reduces pad wear but discs can suffer from corrosion and light scoring due to less frequent heavy friction use. The trend is stable, not worsening, as the previous two annual tests recorded zero defects. The mileage accumulation of 56,542 miles over five years, averaging 11,308 miles annually, is entirely typical for a modern EV used for regular commuting or mixed driving. The record shows a consistent and steady progression: 36,453 miles in May 2024, 47,288 miles in May 2025, and 56,542 miles in May 2026. This equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year, with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest long periods of disuse or exceptionally hard use. The data is clean and well-documented, with no mileage anomalies. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and underbody condition. The repeated advisory on all four brake discs at the most recent test suggests the discs have developed surface pitting or scoring, which is common on EVs where the regenerative braking system handles most deceleration, leaving the friction brakes underused and prone to corrosion buildup. While not an immediate failure, this condition can lead to uneven braking feel, noise, and accelerated pad wear if left unaddressed. Inspect the disc surfaces for deep scoring or lipping, and check pad thickness to determine whether replacement is imminent. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, also examine the suspension bushes, ball joints, and dust boots for wear, as these components endure steady stress over 56,000 miles of AWD electric drivetrain torque. The single failure in May 2024 for a non-functioning offside rear fog lamp was a minor electrical defect and has since been resolved, showing no recurrence. Overall, the record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no structural or mechanical red flags, though the brake disc condition warrants attention in the near term.
