The ALFA ROMEO 156 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.4 JTD MULTIJET 175 TI is a four-door family saloon, not a hatchback or SUV. In the UK, it is a distinctive used alternative to mainstream mid-size saloons, with Italian styling and a sportier image. mycarcheck.com recorded four look-ups across two VINs, so this is a small snapshot, not a dependable market average. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,100, mileage of 130,000, 4.75 previous keepers and annual mileage of 2,000. Made for commuting and longer trips, it offers passenger and luggage space. Strong diesel performance and the 156’s graceful, driver-focused feel give it more character than a family saloon. Compared with German rivals, it is known for expressive Italian design and an engaging drive, but age, mileage and service history need checks. It best suits enthusiasts or experienced used-car buyers who value its character, rather than drivers seeking a first car.
