The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 3 AUTO5 is a small, five-door hatchback with a taller, roomier feel than many ordinary superminis. It sits between a city car and a compact family car in the UK used market, offering easy access and a useful view out for driving. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 84 checks across 51 distinct VINs, giving a snapshot of interest in this version. The average private-sale valuation is £500, with average recorded mileage of 80,000 and annual mileage of 4,000. Checks show about five previous keepers on average, so check each car’s history before buying. The Fusion suits commuters, first-time buyers and families needing affordable, practical transport rather than sporty performance. Its upright shape and flexible cabin make it feel spacious compared with a small hatchback, while the 1.4-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit town journeys. Against Fiesta-sized rivals, room is its calling card.
