The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.4 JTD TURISMO is a five-door estate, rather than a hatchback or SUV, offering a practical boot in a compact executive-sized package. In the UK used market it is now an older, relatively uncommon alternative to mainstream estates such as the Ford Mondeo and BMW 3 Series Touring, with distinctive Italian styling. The mycarcheck.com snapshot is small: three look-ups covered one distinct VIN, so it should not be treated as a market-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, recorded mileage of 156,000 miles and about 4.7 previous keepers. These figures are useful context when assessing an individual car, but condition and history matter greatly. The 2.4-litre JTD diesel makes this Sportwagon suited to commuters or small families seeking space, long-distance comfort and character. It feels more distinctive than mainstream rivals, but age and mileage make careful history and condition checks essential.
