The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.4 JTDM 210 TI 6SPD is a sporty diesel estate rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, it offers an Italian-styled alternative to family estates such as the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant, with load space for everyday needs. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 22 look-ups covering five distinct VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a definitive guide. The checked cars averaged £3,300 in private-sale value, 117,000 miles and nearly five previous keepers. An unusually high annual-mileage average of 58,000 should be treated cautiously, given the limited sample. With its diesel engine, six-speed manual gearbox and TI trim, the 159 Sportwagon suits drivers wanting a roomy commuter or family car that feels more engaging and distinctive than mainstream estates. It is best for buyers who value Italian design and long-distance travel; check service history and condition before buying.
