2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OY70 VWT

The Polestar 2 currently holds an unroadworthy status following its most recent MOT failure on 24 May 2026 at 68,442 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening. A vehicle that passed cleanly in October 2025 has since deteriorated to a state where all four road wheel fixings were recorded as missing, all four axles carried mismatched tyre sizes, and the nearside front constant velocity boot was severely deteriorated. These are not gradual wear items. Missing wheel fixings represent a critical structural integrity risk, and the simultaneous presence of four mismatched tyre sets suggests the vehicle was not presented for routine maintenance between October 2025 and May 2026. The CV boot defect itself is a recurring issue, having first appeared as an advisory in October 2024 at 48,485 miles, then failing the September 2025 test at 62,635 miles, and now failing again in May 2026. This is a progressive mechanical fault that has persisted across three consecutive test cycles without permanent repair. The mileage accumulation of roughly 11,407 miles per year is typical for a six-year-old vehicle and does not raise concerns about excessive use or suspiciously low standing time. The record shows consistent annual testing with no significant gaps. The 5,800-mile jump between October 2025 and May 2026 is slightly above the annual average but falls within normal variance for a single six-month interval. There are no anomalies in the odometer progression that suggest tampering or long periods of inactivity. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on three areas. First, verify that all four wheels are secured with the correct fixings and that the tyre sizes match across each axle, as the May 2026 failure indicates these were not addressed after the test. Second, examine both front outer CV boots for splits, grease contamination, and joint play, given the recurring nature of this defect across multiple tests. Third, inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframe areas, as electric vehicles of this age and mileage can develop structural corrosion that MOT records alone may not fully capture. The mismatched tyres and missing fixings also warrant a broader inspection of wheel arch liners and steering components for signs of impact damage or neglect.
