The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 100 3 is a compact five-door family hatchback with a taller, more upright shape than many small cars. In the UK it sits between a conventional supermini and a small people carrier, prioritising easy access and useful cabin space rather than outright speed. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 381 checks covering 252 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used examples. Its data shows average recorded mileage of 94,000 miles and about 7,000 miles driven annually; cars had an average of just over four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £500 in those checks. The 1.6-litre petrol engine suits everyday town trips, commuting and family journeys, while the raised seating and broad-opening doors make it easy to live with. It is a sensible alternative to a Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa when extra room matters, though buyers should compare condition and running costs carefully.
