2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OY21 XSF

The Polestar 2 presents a flawless MOT record across all three tests conducted to date, with zero advisories or defects recorded at any point. The most recent examination on 26 January 2026 at 24,440 miles returned a completely clean pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards across brakes, suspension, structural integrity, exhaust emissions, lighting, and tyre condition. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable, with no recurring faults or emerging patterns of deterioration visible in the official DVSA data. The mileage accumulation tells a notably conservative story. From first registration in 2021 through the January 2026 test, the car has covered just 24,440 miles, averaging fewer than 5,000 miles annually. The intervals between MOT tests confirm this: roughly 4,000 miles accumulated between the March 2024 test at 16,187 miles and the February 2025 test at 20,218 miles, followed by a similar increment of approximately 4,200 miles to the January 2026 test. Such low annual usage typically reduces wear on consumable components like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce its own concerns around typer flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and battery health in an electric vehicle. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully interrogate. The Polestar 2's AWD drivetrain and substantial battery weight place particular demands on suspension components, so check for uneven tyre wear, deteriorated suspension bushes, and any knocking from the front or rear axles over speed humps. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, which is common on EVs where regenerative braking reduces mechanical friction use and can lead to disc pitting even with low mileage. Examine the underbody and sill areas for any signs of corrosion or stone chip damage, particularly around the battery enclosure mounting points, as structural integrity in this region is critical. Finally, verify the charging port condition, cable insulation, and that the high-voltage battery management system reports no fault codes via a diagnostic scan, since electrical health is not assessed during a standard MOT.
