2025 Polestar 4 Plus EV AWD Electric · OY75 WHB

A brand-new 2025 Polestar 4 Plus EV AWD currently has no DVSA MOT test history on file, which is entirely expected given its registration date. Under current UK roadworthiness legislation, vehicles are not required to undergo their first MOT test until they reach three years of age, placing this Polestar's inaugural examination sometime in 2028. Until that initial test is carried out and recorded, there is no independent DVSA verification of its mechanical condition, structural integrity, or compliance with emissions and safety standards. Any prospective buyer is therefore relying solely on the manufacturer's pre-delivery inspection, the supplying dealer's preparation work, and the still-valid manufacturer warranty rather than any objective third-party roadworthiness data. Because the vehicle has not yet reached its first MOT threshold, no recorded mileage is held within the DVSA history, and it is therefore not possible to cross-reference odometer readings against age or to calculate an annual accumulation rate. The accompanying mileage context explicitly confirms that there is insufficient data to establish any usage pattern, which means a buyer cannot yet verify whether the car has been predominantly used for short urban commutes, long motorway runs, or a mix of both. For an electric all-wheel-drive vehicle of this type, this absence of usage data is not a red flag, but it does mean that no judgement can be made regarding battery degradation characteristics, brake wear rates (which on EVs are typically lower due to regenerative braking), or suspension loading over time. The buyer will need to rely on the live odometer reading, the vehicle's telematics or service records, and the battery state-of-health report from the dealer. Since no advisories or failure items have yet been recorded against this Polestar 4, there are no specific components flagged for the buyer to prioritise during a pre-purchase inspection. However, given that this is a new-platform premium electric crossover, particular attention should be paid to the high-voltage charging port for any signs of damage or scorching, the undertray protection panels which can be vulnerable to speed-bump strikes, and the condition of the alloy wheels which can indicate kerbing incidents not reflected in any MOT data. On a test drive, listen carefully for any wind noise from the frameless door seals, unusual thuds from the air suspension over uneven surfaces, and any warning messages on the driver display. Verify the operation of the regenerative braking modes, ensure the infotainment system boots cleanly without software error messages, and confirm that both the home and public charging cables function correctly. A pre-purchase inspection at an authorised Polestar service centre remains strongly advisable, as this will provide a baseline electronic health check of the battery pack, software versions, and high-voltage systems that the MOT test is not yet in a position to evaluate. Confirm that all recall campaigns applicable to this VIN have been completed and that the vehicle is supplied with a functional service book, charging cables, and the original locking wheel nut. Until the first MOT is recorded in 2028, the buyer's principal safeguards are the remaining manufacturer warranty, the dealer's pre-sale preparation, and an independent technical inspection focused on the items that DVSA testing will not examine for another three years.
