The FORD FIESTA (2002-08) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 80 SILVER is a compact, petrol-powered hatchback aimed at everyday UK driving. It sits in the popular small-car class, where easy parking, manageable running costs and a practical cabin matter more than size or luxury. Its three-door layout gives it a sporty look. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 495 checks covering 295 distinct VINs, a useful sample of cars being researched. The average private-sale valuation is £800, with average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles and annual use around 6,000 miles. Checks show an average of 4.4 previous keepers, so condition and history deserve careful attention. Suited to commuters, new drivers and couples, it is easy to park and more flexible than a tiny city car. The 1.4-litre engine offers everyday pace, and the Fiesta is known for enjoyable, responsive handling. Like the Vauxhall Corsa, it remains an affordable option for buyers on a tight budget.
