2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OY70 LWT

This vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend, culminating in a recent failure and a closely following pass that demand scrutiny. The most recent test on 2025-10-22 at 88,920 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester still flagged worn front brake discs. This pass came just thirteen days after a failure on 2025-10-09 at 88,395 miles, which cited those same front brake discs alongside a fractured offside front coil spring. The immediate retest following a broken coil spring indicates the seller carried out the bare minimum of repairs to secure a certificate, replacing the spring but leaving the borderline brake discs unaddressed. The mileage pattern confirms heavy use. Averaging roughly 14,820 miles annually, the car has covered 88,920 miles in six years. The rate of accumulation is consistent rather than sudden, climbing from 60,863 miles in October 2023 to 78,108 miles in October 2024, and pushing further to 88,395 miles by October 2025. This high annual mileage places significant strain on suspension components and brake consumables, a reality reflected directly in the MOT record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and braking system thoroughly. The fractured offside front coil spring from October 2025 is a major structural concern; the replacement unit and its counterpart on the nearside must be checked for correct fitment and integrity. The front brake discs remain a glaring advisory on the latest certificate. Given the high mileage and the previous failure for worn discs, they are approaching the end of their service life and will likely require immediate replacement. Rear shock absorbers also warrant close attention. The tester noted light oil misting on the nearside rear shock during both the failure and the pass in October 2023. While acceptable then, this seepage often precedes outright failure after another 28,000 miles of hard driving. Tyre upkeep was previously poor. The October 2023 failure at 60,863 miles cited both front tyres for inner edge wear and incorrect rotation against the sidewall instructions. Failing on tyre tread and directional fitment suggests basic routine maintenance was skipped by a previous owner. A buyer should verify the current tyres are correctly mounted and have adequate, even tread across the entire contact patch.
