Ford Fiesta Edge 60 (2010)

447 real MOT outcomes analysed • 82.2% first-time pass rate

2010 Ford Fiesta Edge 60

CarHunch analysed 447 real MOT records for the 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge 60. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge 60 is slightly more reliable than average, with an 82.2% first-time pass rate against the UK benchmark of 80%, and crucially, none of the 447 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a genuinely clean safety record. At nearly 76,400 miles on average, these cars show typical wear for their age, yet they're averaging just 0.96 failures per vehicle, suggesting the mechanicals hold up reasonably well. The absence of any recorded advisories is unusual and worth investigating further, but the data points to a fundamentally sound used buy in this generation. If you're considering one, prioritise a full service history and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on clutch wear and suspension, the common weak points on high-mileage Fiestas of this era.

What to check before buying a 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge 60

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
