The MAZDA 626 (1999-02) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 D GXI SE is a mid-sized, five-door diesel estate from the end of the 1990s. In the UK used-car market, it offers a practical alternative to family hatchbacks and larger people carriers, with a long load area for everyday errands, luggage and weekend trips. mycarcheck.com has recorded four look-ups across three distinct VINs, so this is a small sample rather than a market-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, average recorded mileage of 97,000 and annual mileage of 6,000; cars averaged three previous keepers. That profile may suit buyers wanting a roomy, straightforward car for family duties, commuting or carrying shopping, especially if purchase price matters more than modern technology. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra estates of its era, the 626 is a less common, understated choice. Check condition and history carefully, as age and upkeep matter greatly.
