The MAZDA 626 (1999-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 GXI SE AUTO4 is a spacious, mid-sized family hatchback from the end of the 1990s. It sits above small city cars, offering a comfortable, practical feel for journeys, while its five-door body makes passenger and luggage access straightforward. Mycarcheck.com records show just two checks, covering two different VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable guide to every car. Within that sample, average recorded mileage was 40,000, annual mileage 1,000, previous keepers 2.5, and estimated private-sale value £500. Treat these as historical indications; condition and paperwork matter more. With its 2.0-litre engine and automatic gearbox, this 626 suits relaxed commuting, longer trips and buyers wanting an easy-going family car rather than a tiny runabout. It rivalled the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Nissan Primera, offering a roomy cabin and straightforward comfort. As an older car, careful inspection is essential.
