The FIAT STILO (2003-07) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V ACTIVE is a small family hatchback from Fiat’s line-up. With five doors, it offers everyday versatility while remaining less bulky than an estate or SUV. It sits between a city car and a larger family car and is a budget-priced used choice. Mycarcheck.com records 39 look-ups covering 32 different VINs, a modest snapshot rather than a full picture of the Stilo population. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 89,000 miles and almost four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £300, reflecting the age of vehicles checked, not a guaranteed price. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and simple layout suit local trips, commuting and everyday duties, particularly for buyers wanting an inexpensive first or second car. The Stilo offers a roomy alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra; as with any older car, check condition and service history carefully.
