The MAZDA 626 (1999-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 GSI is a roomy five-door family car from the late 1990s. In the UK it occupied the medium-sized market, offering passenger space and a practical hatchback shape rather than city-car compactness or premium-car polish. It is now an older, less common used choice. mycarcheck.com records just three look-ups for this exact model, covering two VINs, so the figures are only a small snapshot. Average private-sale valuation was £200; recorded mileage averaged 111,000, annual mileage 7,000, and previous keepers about five. It suits drivers seeking affordable transport for commuting, errands and family trips, with the five-door body making passengers and loads easy to manage. The 2.0-litre petrol version offers performance compared with small hatchbacks. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, the 626 is a practical, comfortable, less fashionable alternative; buyers should focus on condition and running costs, as with any older car.
