The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2006-09) 4DR SALOON 1.8 MPI 140 LUSSO is a mid-size family saloon, a distinctive alternative to mainstream UK cars. Its sleek Italian styling brings an upmarket feel, while Lusso suggests a comfort-focused specification. It suits buyers wanting space and character without choosing an SUV. On the road, the 1.8-litre petrol engine and 140bhp offer straightforward everyday performance, making this 159 suitable for commuting, regular journeys and small-family duties. It is less about economy-focused motoring than style and an engaging drive, and makes a compelling used choice for drivers who value design over the most practical, predictable rival. Mycarcheck.com recorded 29 look-ups across 12 VINs, so the sample is useful but limited. Checked examples averaged £1,300 in private-sale valuation, 118,000 miles and nearly four previous keepers; average annual mileage was 3,000. These figures describe checked cars, not every 159, so review each car’s history and condition before buying.
