|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polestar 2 | 12,876 | 88.6% | 11.4% | 38,005 |
Fail rates are first attempts at class 4 normal tests in 2025, from DVSA’s anonymised data (retrieved 2026-09-12). Age mix drives a lot of the spread: a model sold mostly since 2020 will beat one whose survivors average 15 years old. Each model page shows the rate by age band.
