2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OY70 LWD

This Polestar 2 has a relatively clean MOT history, but the most recent inspection reveals a specific mechanical concern that was only resolved very recently. The vehicle's mileage of 29,385 over six years averages roughly 4,900 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting light usage. While low mileage generally means less wear on drivetrain components, it can sometimes imply the car has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to rubber components perishing or drying out. The most recent MOT entry from December 2025 shows a pass, but it follows a failure just six days prior. The failure was caused by split or insecure constant velocity (CV) boots on both the nearside front and offside front drive shafts. This is a notable pattern as it affects both sides simultaneously, which can sometimes indicate age-related degradation of the rubber rather than impact damage. The maintenance trend appears to be reactive rather than proactive. While the car passed its most recent test, the recent failure suggests that rubber components like CV boots and tyres (as seen in the 2024 record) may be reaching the end of their serviceable life due to age rather than mileage. Before purchasing, you should inspect the drive shafts and CV boots closely for any signs of grease leakage or fresh splitting.
