The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 JTS 150 LUSSO SELESPEED AUTO is a five-door, petrol-powered family hatchback with a more characterful feel than mainstream UK alternatives. It combines Italian styling and a Lusso trim with a Selespeed gearbox, making it a distinctive choice in the used-car market today. mycarcheck.com has recorded 11 checks across nine VINs, a useful snapshot, not a large sample. Those checks show an average mileage of 71,000 miles and annual use of 4,000 miles; the average keeper count is just over three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £700, so condition and history matter greatly. It suits drivers wanting a stylish everyday runabout or compact family car, especially those who value personality and an engaging drive over low running costs. Against rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, the Alfa feels more individual, though buyers should check gearbox operation and service records carefully.
