The MAZDA 323 (1996-03) 5DR FASTBACK 2.0 D GXI DIESEL is a five-door compact family hatchback from the late 1990s. Its practical fastback shape gives it a useful blend of everyday usability and a slightly more distinctive profile than a conventional small saloon. In the UK market, it sits among modestly sized, affordable family cars, rather than city cars or SUVs. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 10 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, a small sample, so these figures are a guide rather than a complete picture. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400 and average latest recorded mileage of 116,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 8,000, while cars had 4.3 previous keepers on average. Together, that points to an older, budget-priced used car where condition and history deserve close attention. Diesel power suits commuting and family errands, with straightforward practicality against similarly aged Ford Escort and Vauxhall Astra rivals too.
