2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OY70 XRS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT that passed on 11 February 2026 at 50,663 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but punctuated by recurring tyre damage and minor corrosion advisories rather than escalating mechanical failures. The most recent test flagged corrosion on the nearside front and offside front brake discs, a low-severity advisory that does not indicate imminent structural compromise but does suggest the car may have seen periods of short journeys or standing. The pass on 11 February followed a failure just five days earlier on 06 February 2026 at the same recorded mileage, where the offside rear tyre was found with a cut deep enough to expose the ply or cords. That the same mileage appears on both the failure and the pass strongly implies the tyre was replaced between the two tests, which is a positive sign of responsive rectification. The mileage progression tells a story of two distinct phases. Between the September 2023 test at 26,520 miles and the December 2024 failure at 50,120 miles, the car covered roughly 23,600 miles in just over twelve months, a rate well above the annual average of around 8,444 miles. That spike suggests intensive use over that period, possibly long-distance commuting or fleet-style operation. From December 2024 through to February 2026, the odometer moved only from 50,120 to 50,663 miles, a mere 543 miles across fourteen months. The car has effectively been sitting or covering very short distances since late 2024. That shift from heavy use to near-dormancy is significant because prolonged standing can cause brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and moisture ingress into seals and bushes, all of which align with the advisories now appearing on the record. The December 2024 failure is the most technically revealing entry. All four tyres were flagged simultaneously, with bulges, exposed ply, and deep cuts across the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear. That pattern is not consistent with gradual wear. It points to either a batch of defective tyres, aggressive kerbing, or sustained underinflation causing sidewall overheating and structural breakdown. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre sidewalls carefully for any residual bulging or sidewall deformation and verify the date codes to confirm whether the set has been replaced since that failure. The inner-edge tyre wear advisory from September 2023 at 26,520 miles also warrants attention. Inner-edge wear on all four tyres typically indicates toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes, and if that alignment issue was never corrected, the current tyres may still be wearing unevenly despite the replacements. The corrosion advisory on both front brake discs from the February 2026 pass is minor in isolation but should be viewed alongside the car's recent low-mileage period. Surface rust on discs is normal after standing, yet if the corrosion has persisted long enough to cause pitting, braking efficiency could be compromised under sustained load. A test drive should evaluate whether the pedal feels firm and whether any judder is felt through the wheel under moderate braking. Beyond the MOT record, a buyer should inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, check the condition of all suspension bushes for perishing or play, and verify that the regenerative braking system on this Polestar 2 is functioning smoothly, as uneven regen behaviour can sometimes mask developing brake issues on electric vehicles.
