With 104,000 miles.
Honestly, it drove very well. The rotors are a bit warped, so it shudders under braking. Easy enough fix, though.
My friend recently bought it and we took it on a two hour trip this weekend. I drove, since she didn’t want to.
If I couldn’t see the odometer, I wouldn’t have thought it had that many miles on it at all. It was smooth, quiet, and still felt very well put together.
Color me surprised.
This one is pretty well loaded. Only option I saw that is missing is a sunroof. It has leather heated seats, Sync, backup sensors, all-wheel-drive, etc.

My dad has a similar one. It’s not terrible.

I was impressed with the lack of squeaks and rattles, especially since it has surpassed 100,000 miles in 5 years.
The only QC issue I see is that the Ford emblem up front didn't hold up well. It's peeling away.

My wife has a 2008 with 58k miles. I just replaced front rotors and pads this year. It runs like new and has had few issues. To make it handle a little better I did urethane sway bushing in the rear only. Best $20 I ever spent, 40 minutes to install. I also upgraded to a stiffer sidewall tire than the OE Michelins which never did great in these. The Michelins after 30k sounded like bad wheel bearings. Few people know the Edge its a combination of Mazda and Ford suspension platform, a Ford engine ( Wards Best 10 Award) and a jointly designed GM/Ford 6 speed automatic. Sounds like a strange marriage of parts but it works. Its chassis is the same that Mazda based the Mazda 6 and CX9 on. There are a few shared parts in suspension and brakes between the brands.

Same as in my mothers 07 Expedition. It is now full silver.
