The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 5DR SPORTWAGON 1.6 TS TURISMO REV 02 is a compact estate, offering more carrying flexibility than the 156 saloon while remaining smaller and more distinctive than family estates. In the UK used market, it is now an older, uncommon choice rather than a mainstream runabout. Mycarcheck.com records are limited: four look-ups covered two distinct VINs, so figures are indicative, not a market-wide picture. They show an average private-sale valuation of £600, recorded mileage of 102,000, annual use of 4,000 miles and 4.5 previous keepers on average. These figures can help frame a viewing, but each car’s condition and history matter greatly. The 1.6-litre petrol engine suits relaxed commuting and local trips, while the estate body helps with shopping, hobbies or family duties. Its Italian styling and engaging, lively feel set it apart from more conservative rivals, though buyers should prioritise maintenance records and a careful inspection.
