The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 1.9 JTD 115 VELOCE is a compact family saloon, offering four doors and a distinctive Italian character. It suits buyers wanting practical transport with more style than an ordinary used saloon. Its 1.9-litre diesel and 115-horsepower output suit commuting and longer journeys, while Veloce trim adds a sportier look. Against Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, the Alfa is known for handsome styling and a more characterful drive, rather than maximum space. It may appeal to couples, small families and enthusiasts; check condition and service history carefully on older examples. mycarcheck.com records 10 look-ups across nine distinct VINs, a small sample rather than a full market picture. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £700, recorded mileage of 148,000 miles, annual mileage of 11,000 and around four previous keepers. Treat these figures as context: an individual car’s history and condition can materially affect its overall value.
