The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 5DR SPORTWAGON 2.0 JTDM 16V DPF 170 TI 6SPD is a five-door estate, not a hatchback or SUV. In the UK it sits in the compact executive estate class, offering family space with more style and personality than rivals. The 170 diesel and six-speed manual suit commuters and families making longer journeys, while TI trim adds a sportier feel. Distinctive Italian design, composed road manners and a generous load area make it an alternative to the Audi A4 Avant and BMW 3 Series Touring, though condition and service history matter. mycarcheck.com has recorded 212 checks across 52 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this relatively uncommon model. Its checked cars average 134,000 miles, around 5,000 miles a year, and just over four previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £2,000. These figures are guideposts, not a substitute for checking an individual car carefully.
