The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.5 V6 VELOCE QS AUTO CLOTH is a compact, five-door estate, blending family-car practicality with distinctly Italian style. In the UK used-car market it is a rare, characterful alternative to estate versions of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, rather than a mainstream choice. Mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks covering two different VINs, so these figures are useful clues, not a broad market average. The checks show 112,000 miles average recorded mileage, 4,000 miles annual use, 3.75 previous keepers and a £600 average private-sale valuation. With only four checks, these figures are indicative; condition and service history remain vital. Its estate space and automatic suit small families and weekend trips. Its V6 engine gives it a more spirited, distinctive character than ordinary family estates, while Veloce trim adds a sporty edge. Choose it for personality and practicality, not bargain running costs alone.
