2021 Polestar 2 Pilot Plus EV AWD Electric · P90 MAA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 January 2026 with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and positive, as the advisories noted in August 2024 regarding the condition of the brake discs have not reappeared in the subsequent two tests. This suggests that the previous concerns were likely addressed through component replacement or that the wear has remained within acceptable safety limits, indicating a consistent approach to vehicle upkeep. With a recorded mileage of 52,949 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,590 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern executive electric vehicle, suggesting the car has been used regularly without excessive long-term standing or extreme high-mileage stress. Such a consistent usage pattern generally ensures that mechanical components have remained in operational circulation, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals often associated with low-mileage examples. Despite the clean recent MOT, the historical record of pitted and scored brake discs warrants a specific check. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which can indicate uneven disc wear or warping. Given the significant curb weight of this all-wheel-drive electric powertrain, particular attention should be paid to the front tyre treads for uneven wear patterns and the condition of the suspension bushes, listening for any clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces. Beyond the MOT records, the buyer should verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance, specifically the brake fluid replacement intervals and the condition of the cabin air filters. It is also advisable to check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can degrade over a five-year period regardless of the main traction battery's state of health. Finally, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any cracking or perishing is recommended to ensure the rubber remains supple and safe for high-speed motorway use.
