The MAZDA 6 (2002-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 D 121 SAKATA is a roomy, five-door family hatchback from Mazda’s first-generation 6 range. It sits in the practical, larger-car end of the UK used market, offering more space and comfort than a typical small hatchback while remaining easier to live with than an estate or SUV. Mycarcheck.com recorded 35 checks covering 14 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £800 and average recorded mileage of 104,000 miles; annual mileage averages 10,000, with around 2.6 previous keepers. These figures help set expectations, but each car’s condition and history matter. The diesel suits commuters and families seeking cabin space and relaxed motorway travel, while the hatchback adds everyday practicality. Sakata trim gives the Mazda 6 distinctive appeal; its balanced ride and value make it a good alternative to Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals.
