The ALFA ROMEO 147 (2001-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.9 JTDM 120 TURISMO is a compact, three-door diesel hatchback, offering a stylish alternative to mainstream family runabouts. In the UK used-car market, it sits between practical small hatchbacks and premium-badged models, appealing to drivers wanting Italian character in a manageable car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 18 checks covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a snapshot rather than a full market picture. The cars checked averaged 90,000 miles and around 4,000 miles a year; recorded keeper history averaged nearly five previous keepers, worth bearing in mind when assessing an individual example. With an average private-sale valuation of £1,700 in the checks, this 147 suits budget-conscious commuters or couples wanting a characterful car. Its lively diesel and engaging feel help it stand apart from rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, while the three-door layout trades rear access for sporty style.
