2020 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electricity · OY70 XRV

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass certificate issued on 19 November 2025 at 53,458 miles, with zero defects recorded at that test. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a pre-test failure the day before on 18 November 2025 at the same mileage reveals a recurring pattern of last-minute corrections. That failure flagged a split or insecure constant velocity boot on the nearside front drive shaft joint, allowing dirt ingress. The fault was evidently rectified within 24 hours to secure a pass, suggesting reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The 2023 failure for insufficient washer fluid was minor and consumable in nature, but the CV boot failure on an all-wheel-drive electric vehicle at under 54,000 miles is worth noting. It implies the rubber gaiter may have perished prematurely, potentially from heat cycling or road debris, and the joint itself should be inspected for play or contamination. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 35,748 miles in December 2023, 42,313 miles in November 2024, and 53,458 miles by November 2025, representing roughly 8,900 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The annual increments suggest regular daily use rather than prolonged standing, which is favourable for an electric vehicle whose battery and drivetrain benefit from consistent activity. No MOT tests appear to be missing from the expected annual cycle. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the nearside front CV joint and boot for fresh grease splatter, clicking under load, or secondary splits. On an all-wheel-drive Polestar 2, a compromised gaiter can lead to joint failure and drivetrain vibration if left unattended. The rear drivetrain boots and suspension bushes deserve equal scrutiny, as electric torque places constant stress on rubber components. Check the underside for corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, particularly around the rear trailing arms, which are known to attract advisories on this platform. Brake discs and pads should be measured; regenerative braking often masks mechanical wear until it becomes severe. The windscreen washer system is trivial but should still be tested for both jets and fluid level sensor function.
