2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · OY70 XRU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening suspension and drivetrain components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 68,626 miles identified a critical failure regarding a severely deteriorated offside front outer driveshaft constant velocity boot. This follows a recurring advisory for the nearside rear shock absorber which was first noted during the October 2024 test at 61,672 miles. While the car passes its tests, the progression from minor misting to mechanical failure suggests components are reaching their service limits. The mileage remains consistent with typical UK usage for this age, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year over its six-year lifespan. The vehicle covered the14,640 miles between the September 2023 test at 47,032 miles and the 2025 test, showing regular use. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and seals despite the noted faults. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the offside front drive shaft to ensure the CV boot has been replaced and that no grease has leaked out, which would lead to premature joint failure. The nearside rear shock absorber requires a close look to determine if the light misting has progressed into a significant leak that would compromise suspension damping performance. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding inner edge wear on the offside rear tyre indicates a previous alignment issue that should be verified on the current set to prevent further tyre scrubbing.
