The MAZDA 626 (1999-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 GXI SPORT is a practical, mid-sized family hatchback from the end of the 1990s. It sits above small city cars in space and comfort, while offering a simpler, more traditional alternative to today’s crossovers. Five doors make everyday loading and passenger access straightforward. In mycarcheck.com data, only two look-ups cover two VINs, so these figures are context rather than a market-wide picture. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £500, recorded mileage of 95,000 miles, annual mileage of 1,000 miles, and three previous keepers. Treat these as snapshots, not a price guide. The 2.0-litre petrol GXI Sport suits buyers wanting an affordable, roomy car for commuting, errands or family trips, particularly at modest annual mileage. Compared with Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, the 626 is a less common, understated choice, with a straightforward driving experience; condition and service history matter when buying one.
