2021 Polestar Polestar 2 at 62,000 miles
You did not give a mileage, so this uses 62,000 — the median reported failure mileage for this model year, which is a rough stand-in for “a typical example of this car”. Put your real reading in the box below for an answer about your car.
At 62,000 miles on this car
At 62,000 miles on a 2021 Polestar Polestar 2, 8 of the failure modes other owners have reported already have their median report at or below your reading, and 0 more fall inside the window where they are usually reported. The heaviest of the ones already due is other driver assistance problem.
Already past the median 8
Half of all reports of these failures came in at or below where your car is now.
- Other driver assistance problem 25k
- Other visibility problem 11k
- Other brake problem 40k
- Head gasket failure 47k
- Fuel tank, filler or EVAP failure 46k
- Wiring harness or short circuit 46k
- Parking brake failure 7k
- Tire blowout or tread separation 6k
You are in the window 0
Your reading falls inside the middle half of reports for these.

Why the list is generic until you type a number
Every figure below is a comparison against your odometer, so with no reading given the page has to pick one: 62,000 miles, roughly what a 2021 car covers at 12,000 miles a year. A reading 30,000 miles either side of that moves failures between the columns, which is the difference between a useful list and a generic one.
Already inside the reported range
8 failure modes on the 2021 Polestar Polestar 2 have a median reported mileage at or below 62,000: other driver assistance problem (median 25,000 miles, 11 reports), other visibility problem (median 10,000 miles, 7 reports), other brake problem (median 40,000 miles, 5 reports), head gasket failure (median 45,000 miles, 2 reports), fuel tank, filler or EVAP failure (median 45,000 miles, 1 report) and wiring harness or short circuit (median 45,000 miles, 1 report).
These are the ones worth mentioning to a mechanic by name at the next service. Being past a median is not being overdue — it means the reports cluster below where you are now, so if the failure was going to be typical, it would already have happened.
Still ahead of you
9 further modes sit above your reading, the nearest being control module (ECM/PCM/BCM) failure at a median of 65,000 miles. On a car you intend to keep, these are the ones that decide whether it is worth keeping.
What this list is not
It is a reading of what owners of other 2021 Polestar Polestar 2s reported, and at what odometer reading they reported it. It is not a maintenance schedule, not a diagnosis, and not a prediction about this car: two identical cars with different service histories are not the same car.
Complaints are filed voluntarily, mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers, and a failure mode with few reports has a wide window even when the median looks precise. Modes with fewer than 8 dated reports are shown without percentiles for that reason.
Where 62,000 miles falls on the curve
The three columns above sort the failure modes one by one. This is the same evidence in aggregate: every dated report on this model year, stacked up in the order the odometer readings arrived. The dashed line marked you is where your car sits. How much of the line is to the left of that mark is how much of this model year's reported trouble is, on the evidence, already behind you.
About 48% of the dated reports on this model year had already been filed by 62,000 miles. That is the share of the problems that show up in this record, not of the problems this car will have.
- Line share of reports filed by that mileage
- Dashed the mileages called out above
A steep early climb means a car whose reports cluster young, which is the pattern of a defect rather than of wear. A line that only gets going past six figures is the opposite. Neither shape says anything about the specific car in your driveway, and a curve built from a few dozen readings can be moved by one owner with a talkative afternoon.

Questions this page answers
What should I expect at 62,000 miles on a 2021 Polestar Polestar 2?
8 of the failure modes owners have reported on the 2021 Polestar Polestar 2 have a median report at or below 62,000 miles, and 0 more fall inside the mileage window where they are usually reported. That is a watch list drawn from other owners, not a prediction about this car.
How to use the three columns. The left column is the list to hand a mechanic before you buy, and to check the service history for if you already own the car. The middle column is what to budget for this year. The right column is not a reprieve — it is a reminder that a used car has a bill schedule, and this is roughly where it falls. All of it is drawn from 194 owner complaints about this exact model year, not from a maintenance manual. How the percentiles are computed.
