The FIAT STILO (2003-07) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.4 20V 170 ABARTH is a rare, sporty three-door family hatchback, sitting near the hot-hatch end of the mainstream UK market. It pairs everyday hatchback practicality with a characterful 2.4-litre petrol engine, making it more distinctive than ordinary small family cars. Across 103 mycarcheck.com look-ups, covering 28 different VINs, the model has a useful but modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 76,000 miles and annual mileage of 3,000 miles. Owners had averaged about four and a half previous keepers, so condition and history deserve careful checking. Best suited to an enthusiast wanting a weekend car with usable rear space, rather than a budget-conscious first car or fuel-saving commuter, the Abarth offers lively performance and a more individual feel than Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra rivals. Its rarity and age make a vehicle-history check worthwhile before buying.
