2025 Polestar 4 Plus EV AWD Electric · OY75 FDC

The 2025 Polestar 4 Plus EV AWD’s official DVSA MOT history is currently unavailable, which precludes any assessment of a maintenance trend or pattern. Without recorded test results, there is no basis to evaluate whether the vehicle has been consistently maintained, whether defects have progressed over time, or if there are recurring issues that may indicate underlying wear or neglect. The absence of prior MOT data also means we cannot compare the vehicle’s current condition to its historical performance, leaving the buyer with no historical context on potential long-term reliability concerns or the effectiveness of past servicing. The mileage data for this vehicle is not provided, which complicates any evaluation of its usage profile. Polestar models of this generation are typically positioned as premium, low-mileage vehicles, often sold with minimal accumulated kilometres, particularly in the early years of production. Without a known mileage figure, it is impossible to determine whether the car has been subjected to high annual mileage—potentially accelerating wear on components such as the battery, suspension, or drivetrain—or if it has been driven sparingly, which might suggest less aggressive usage but could also imply age-related degradation from prolonged inactivity. If the mileage is exceptionally low, the risk of calendar-based degradation in fluids, seals, and electrical systems becomes a greater concern, whereas high mileage would warrant closer inspection of mechanical components like the electric motor, transmission, and drivetrain components. Given the lack of MOT history, the buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection to address critical roadworthiness and long-term reliability concerns. First, examine the vehicle’s tyres for signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can compromise structural integrity and safety, especially on an EV where tyre wear patterns may differ from internal combustion engine vehicles due to torque vectoring. Check for any standing corrosion on the undercarriage, particularly around the battery pack, exhaust system, and wheel arches, as prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rapid deterioration of critical components. Inspect the 12V battery and associated electrical systems for signs of weakness, such as sluggish starting, dimming lights, or unusual electrical noise, as EVs with high annual mileage are more susceptible to battery degradation over time. Additionally, the buyer should verify that the vehicle’s service history aligns with Polestar’s recommended maintenance schedule, particularly for fluid servicing—though EVs do not require traditional oil changes, the high-voltage battery system and other electrical components require periodic checks for degradation. Pay particular attention to the suspension and steering systems for any unusual noises, such as clunks from worn suspension bushes or coil springs, or binding in the steering components, which could indicate long-term wear or misalignment. A test drive should include monitoring for smoothness in acceleration, braking, and handling, as well as listening for any unusual vibrations or whining noises that could signal issues with the electric motor, drivetrain, or cooling systems. If the vehicle has been driven sparingly, ensure that all fluids—including the coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid (if applicable)—are within manufacturer-recommended levels and free from contamination, as stagnation can lead to sludge formation and system failure. Finally, a professional inspection by a Polestar-certified technician would be advisable to assess the battery health, charging performance, and overall electrical system integrity, as these are critical areas where early detection of issues can prevent costly repairs.
