The MAZDA 626 (1999-02) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 GXI is a mid-sized family estate, offering a practical alternative to a saloon with extra room for shopping, luggage and weekend trips. In the UK used-car market, it sits among straightforward, roomy mainstream estates rather than city cars. Its 2.0-litre petrol engine and estate layout suit families, hobbyists and drivers needing useful carrying space, while remaining manageable for commuting. The 626 is often valued for comfortable, uncomplicated motoring and a reputation for reliability; compared with Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra estates, it offers a less common Japanese alternative. mycarcheck.com has recorded three checks across two VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. The checks show average recorded mileage of 122,000, about 2,000 miles a year, and 4.7 previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £300. Treat this as a check figure, and inspect condition carefully.
