The FORD FUSION (2002-13) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 TDCI 68 ZETEC CLIMATE is a small, five-door hatchback with a taller, roomier feel than a typical city car. It sits between a conventional supermini and a compact family car, giving UK drivers useful everyday space without a large-car footprint. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,298 checks covering 591 different VINs, a substantial sample of interest in this older model. The checked cars average 99,000 miles, around 6,000 miles a year, and 3.6 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £1,100. These figures are useful context, not a guide to any individual car's condition or price. The 1.4-litre TDCi diesel suits commuting and economical everyday motoring, while five doors and a seating position make it handy for families, new drivers or buyers seeking convenient access. Against rivals, the Fusion is known for extra cabin practicality and a more upright, versatile feel, rather than sporty performance.
