The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 2 is a small five-door family hatchback, taller and more upright than a conventional supermini. In the UK market, it sits between a city car and compact family car, offering easy entry and useful cabin space without SUV-sized bulk or excessive length. Its 1.4-litre petrol engine suits everyday town trips and commuting, while the raised seating, good visibility and five doors make it practical for new drivers, couples or small families. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,759 look-ups across 973 different VINs, giving a substantial snapshot of this older, affordable Fusion among UK buyers. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles and annual use of 5,000 miles; the average private-sale valuation is £500, with about four previous keepers. Compared with a Fiesta, the Fusion prioritises easier access and a roomier feel over sleek styling, making it a sensible choice for budget buyers.
