The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 TDCI 68 3 is a compact five-door hatchback with a taller, upright shape than many small cars. In the UK it sits between a conventional supermini and a small family car, offering an easy-to-park footprint with a more spacious, practical feel. Its diesel engine is aimed at economical everyday driving rather than fast performance. mycarcheck.com records 158 look-ups covering 112 distinct VINs, a useful sample of cars checked. Those checks show an average recorded mileage of 117,000 miles and around 6,000 miles driven annually; the average number of previous keepers is about 4.3. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £400, so treat it as a snapshot of checked vehicles, not a guaranteed asking price. Roomy and easy to enter, it suits commuters, first-time drivers and households. Against superminis like the Fiesta, it favours practicality; check condition and history carefully before buying one today.
