Bicester, UK – 22 April 2025. Polestar introduces battery state of health certificates for its pre-owned Polestar 2 models certifying the useable battery as a percentage. The certificate gives customers peace of mind that their battery is in peak health and reassurance that many more miles of hassle-free motoring is ahead of them.

Until 30th April, Polestar is running a national pre-owned event offering customers even easier access to its award-winning product line-up together with a low interest rate and a complimentary Zaptec home charger for all models.

Pre-owned Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 remain up-to-date for potential customers through over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing the models to keep improving over time.

Since its launch in 2020, Polestar 2 has received over 20 OTA updates, including efficiency gains extending the car’s range through battery management, new functionality with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as many loved apps including Waze and YouTube. With continuous software updates, pre-owned customers can be assured they have the latest software features no matter the age of the car.

Further enhancing access to pre-owned cars, in May this year Polestar will open its first pre-owned Space in Birmingham which will be a standalone site in Erdington focussing purely on fully checked and prepped pre-owned Polestars. The Polestar team will deliver the same experience as new car customers, allowing a lower cost of entry to premium EV ownership and removing more carbon emissions from our roads.

Matt Galvin, Managing Director, Polestar UK said: “As more pre-owned Polestars start to come on the market, it offers a lower price entry-point to join the Polestar family and experience our performance EVs with all the software features of our new cars.

“And where customers may have been apprehensive about a five-year-old Polestar 2 and its battery condition, once again Polestar is giving car buyers transparency and providing peace of mind in the same way we do with our climate impact.”

Every pre-owned Polestar features an extensive 112-point check, a 24-month warranty, and the remainder of the 8-year* battery warranty offered. All pre-owned Polestar 2s now undergo a battery state-of-health check, transparently presented to customers before their purchase while all pre-owned models purchased between 17 and 30 April available with reduced interest PCP finance at 8.9% APR representative1 and a free Zaptec2 home charger, saving up to GBP 495.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
