The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.9 JTDM 8V ECO 120 TURISMO 6SPD is a stylish five-door estate, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, it offers a more distinctive, driver-focused alternative to popular mid-size family estates such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. Its diesel engine and roomy load area suit commuting, family duties and longer trips, particularly for drivers wanting practical space and distinctive Italian styling with character. The Turismo trim and six-speed manual give it an engaging feel, while the ECO version is designed to help keep fuel costs in check. mycarcheck.com has recorded just seven checks across four VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot: average recorded mileage is 96,000 miles, annual mileage 7,000, and average previous keepers just over four. An average private-sale valuation of £1,800 provides a useful guide, but condition and service history matter greatly here.
