The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 JTD 115 LUSSO is a compact three-door diesel hatchback with distinctive Italian styling. In the UK used-car market, it offers an individual alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks, balancing everyday practicality with a more characterful, premium-feeling image for drivers who want transport with personality. The 1.9 JTD suits regular commuting and longer journeys, while the three-door layout is best for singles, couples or small households rather than families needing easy rear-seat access. Mycarcheck recorded 15 look-ups covering seven different VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot, not a broad market survey. Checked cars averaged 113,000 miles and nearly five previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £400, with annual mileage averaging 16,000. Its appeal is distinctive looks and a lively, engaging feel; against rivals like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, it feels less conventional, making condition and history important when buying used.
