median odometer

This car is listed $4,516 below that median (18%).

Based on 49 sales of this model year with similar mileage, over the last 2 years. Washington is the only state that publishes what buyers actually paid, so these are Washington sales — a national reference point, not local pricing. Sales under $5,000 are excluded because the state's figure is a declared price and the low end includes family transfers. Source: Washington State Department of Licensing (ODbL).

This exact version — researched

TRAP
HV battery software fault can cut drive power — check this VIN's status

21V110 (2021–2022 Polestar 2): the Battery Energy Control Module microprocessor may reset and disconnect the high-voltage system, causing loss of drive power. Free OTA or dealer software fix; owner notices mailed April 2021.

CAUTION
One Pedal Drive brake-function-loss recall

25V409 (2021 and 2024 Polestar 2): brake function can be lost while coasting downhill using One Pedal Drive. Remedy is an OTA software update; interim advisory was to avoid One Pedal Drive until repaired.

WORTH KNOWING
Real-world DC fast-charge peak fell well short of the rated 150 kW

InsideEVs measured only about 99 kW peak DC charging on a 2021 Polestar 2 test car, against Polestar's 150 kW rating — attributed at the time to a software/network compatibility limit, which may not reflect current software on every car.

WORTH KNOWING
Overlapping rearview-camera recalls

24V477, 25V280, and 25V615 (2021–2025 Polestar 2) all address rearview-camera display issues, with 25V615 superseding the earlier two campaigns. VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov starting April 2026.

Worth asking the seller (2)
  • Battery health reportThe seller can pull one from the car — it's the only real degradation data; nothing remote can measure it.
  • Build date (door-jamb sticker) and original in-service dateSettles mid-year running changes; the in-service date, not the model year, starts the warranty clock.
