The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TS is a compact family saloon, positioned against the Ford Mondeo, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Italian styling and a lively 2.0-litre petrol engine give it character. It now sits at the affordable end of the UK market for used buyers. For used-car shoppers, the 156 saloon can suit couples, small families and commuters who value style and an engaging drive over maximum space or modern technology. Mycarcheck.com has recorded six checks covering four distinct VINs, a small sample, so figures are indicative rather than a complete picture of all cars. Among those checks, average recorded mileage is 78,000, with about 2,000 miles a year and three previous keepers; average private-sale valuation is £500. These are limited-sample indicators, not a price promise. A well-kept 156 offers distinctive styling and rewarding road manners, but buyers should check condition and service history carefully.
