The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.9 JTDM 16V DPF 150 TURISMO SPORT 6SPD is a stylish mid-size estate, with load space and a sleeker profile than family wagons. In the UK used-car market, it offers a distinctive alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. It’s suited to families, commuters and drivers wanting one car for everyday journeys, holidays and longer trips, combining estate practicality with a characterful feel. The 1.9-litre diesel provides strong pulling power and can be economical on longer runs, though condition and service history also matter on an older example. mycarcheck.com records eight checks covering three distinct VINs, a modest sample size. These show an average private-sale valuation of £3,100, most recent recorded mileage of 132,000, annual use of 4,000 miles and 1.75 previous keepers. The 159 Sportwagon stands out for Italian styling and comfort; check each car carefully before buying.
