What the data shows

This V60 T8 Polestar Engineered has documented service and one-owner provenance, but its main ownership risk is the complex plug-in hybrid system. Software-related hybrid warnings, charging faults, and auxiliary-battery problems are the consequential issues to screen at 26,346 miles.

Check the car from cold, scan every control module, and confirm that both charging cables work without fault messages. Budget about $8,200 for near-term wear items; the $49,990 asking price is approximately in line with the market estimate.
