The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.4 JTD TURISMO REV 02 is a compact estate with more luggage space than the 156 saloon, yet easier to park than a large family car. In the UK used market, it is a distinctive alternative to mainstream estates such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just two look-ups for this exact version, covering one distinct VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable guide to all examples. The recorded average private-sale value is £500; average mileage is 181,000, annual mileage 5,000, and previous keepers four. The five-door layout suits couples, commuters and small families needing everyday practicality, while its 2.4 JTD diesel is suited to longer journeys. The Sportwagon stands out for Italian styling and engaging character, feeling less commonplace than rivals. Check service history and condition carefully, particularly at this age and mileage.
