The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 STYLE AUTO5 is a compact five-door hatchback with a taller, upright shape than many small cars. In the UK market, it offers a practical step up from a supermini without the bulk of an SUV. The automatic gearbox suits drivers who prefer straightforward stop-start motoring. mycarcheck.com records 19 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, a useful but limited sample. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200, average latest recorded mileage of 66,000 miles and average annual mileage of 3,000 miles. Cars had around 4.1 previous keepers on average, so view these figures as a snapshot rather than a promise about any individual Fusion. Roomy-feeling, with higher seating and wide-opening doors, it suits errands, commuting and small-family duties, and may appeal to newer drivers. Compared with low-slung superminis, the Fusion favours visibility and easy entry; check each car’s condition carefully before purchase.
