The ALFA ROMEO 159 (2009-12) 4DR SALOON 2.0 JTDM DPF 170 EU5 TURISMO 6SPD is a four-door family saloon in the UK’s compact executive class, competing with cars such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Its Italian design gives it more character than many sensible, familiar rivals. With a 170-horsepower diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox, it suits commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, offering relaxed distance-covering ability with engaging looks. It is best for drivers wanting a roomy, distinctive alternative to mainstream saloons, rather than a small city car; check any diesel’s history and condition carefully. mycarcheck.com has five look-ups for this version, covering five VINs, so the sample is limited. Within those records, average mileage is 140,000, annual use 11,000 miles and 2.6 previous keepers; average private-sale valuation is £2,400. These figures offer a snapshot, not a guaranteed price or verdict on an individual car.
