The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 4DR SALOON 2.0 JTDM 16V DPF 136 EU5 LUSSO 6SPD is a four-door family saloon and a stylish alternative to UK choices such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. Its Italian design gives it personality, while Lusso trim adds an upmarket feel for buyers. With a 2.0-litre diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox, it suits commutes, motorway trips and family duties better than short urban journeys. mycarcheck.com has recorded 43 checks across 23 VINs; checks show average mileage of 105,000 and annual use of 4,000 miles. These figures offer a snapshot, not a guarantee. The average private-sale valuation in the checks is £2,500, with about three previous keepers, so condition and service history deserve attention. The 159 is best for drivers wanting comfort, distinctive styling and a more engaging feel than a typical family saloon; check the diesel filter and running costs before buying.
