The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 PLUS is a five-door hatchback with a taller seating position and more usable space than many small cars. In the UK it bridges the city car and compact family car classes, offering practical space for everyday use and parking without SUV bulk. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 476 checks covering 263 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of these used Fusions. The average private-sale valuation is £1,500, with average recorded mileage of 81,000 and annual use of 5,000 miles. Checks show around 2.7 previous keepers on average, suggesting a fairly settled ownership pattern overall. The 1.4-litre petrol version suits commuters, first-time drivers and small families wanting straightforward transport. Its raised stance helps entry and visibility, while the roomy cabin and five doors make errands and passengers easier than in many superminis. Compared with a Fiesta or Corsa, it prioritises accessible space over sporty flair.
