The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.6 TS VELOCE REV 02 is a compact, five-door estate: a stylish alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks, with extra boot space for everyday errands and trips. In the UK used-car market, it sits among sporty, more characterful family estates rather than budget-focused load-luggers. Mycarcheck.com has recorded four look-ups across two distinct VINs, so its figures offer a snapshot, not a definitive market average. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 101,000, annual mileage of 7,000 and 2.5 previous keepers. Check car history and condition before judging price. The Veloce trim gives the 156 a sportier feel, while its Italian styling and road manners distinguish it from mainstream estate rivals. It suits drivers wanting carrying space with personality, including small families, but buyers should prioritise a well-maintained example and verify service records rather than choosing on price alone.
