What this means at salvage auction
Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev sits 17.1 points above the national average, ranked 155 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.
Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
