The 159 was produced from 2005 to 2011 on the same platform throughout its life, and the bonnet latch mechanism sits behind the grille rather than being part of the visible front-end styling, so there are no generation splits to worry about within this model. In practice, a latch from any 159 of any year should be a strong candidate to fit your car, but always confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Yes, the Alfa Romeo 159 is a conventional front-engined car and is fitted with a standard bonnet latch and cable-operated release mechanism accessible from inside the cabin. There is no unusual or alternative system on this model, so sourcing a used latch from a breaker is a straightforward request.
The bonnet and its latch are shared between the 159 Saloon and the 159 Sportwagon estate, as both body styles use the same front-end structure and bonnet panel. Body style makes no difference here, so a latch pulled from either version will be the same part.
Engine choice and trim level — whether your car is a Lusso, Ti, or any other specification — do not affect the bonnet latch, as this is a structural component shared across the whole 159 range. Order any 159 latch from a breaker and it should correspond to the correct part for your car, though confirming against your registration is always sensible.
The 159 received a mild refresh during its production run, but the bonnet latch is a mechanical catch mounted on the front slam panel rather than a styling part, so facelift changes to lights or grille trims are unlikely to affect it. That said, if you are sourcing a latch from a car on the other side of any production change, it is worth asking the breaker to check the part number against your registration just to be certain.
A latch from a 2006 159 and one from a 2010 car are very likely to be the same part, as the 159 used the same platform and front-end structure throughout its entire 2005–2011 production life. The bonnet latch is not a part that typically changes with minor production updates, but ask the breaker to cross-reference the part number against your registration before purchasing to be sure.
