Ford Fiesta Edge (2010)
2010 Ford Fiesta Edge
CarHunch analysed 105 real MOT records for the 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge is struggling: a first-time pass rate of just 44.5% sits well below the UK average of 80%, meaning nearly six in ten of these cars fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety isn't the primary concern—it's the volume of minor and moderate failures driving down reliability.
These Fiestas show low mileage on average (77,326 miles), yet they're still racking up 0.61 failures per vehicle, suggesting wear or maintenance issues aren't purely age-related. If you're considering one, budget for repairs before or immediately after purchase, and factor in a higher-than-normal MOT failure probability into your running costs.
What to check before buying a 2010 Ford Fiesta Edge
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.
