ALFA ROMEO 146 (1995-01) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 16V TS is a compact five-door family hatchback, giving buyers a distinctive Italian alternative to familiar UK small-car choices. Its practical rear doors and hatch suit everyday errands, commuting and small-family duties, while its age makes it an increasingly uncommon used-car find today. The 1.6-litre 16-valve Twin Spark petrol engine gives the 146 a lively character, and its styling feels more individual than many practical rivals of its era. It is best for someone who values personality and an enjoyable drive over modern equipment, low running costs or the latest safety and convenience features. mycarcheck.com records just two checks, covering one VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. The checked example averaged 88,000 miles, 5,000 miles a year and eight previous keepers; its recorded private-sale valuation averaged £100. Treat that valuation cautiously, and inspect condition and history carefully.
