What is a Abarth VIN decoder?

The Abarth decoder reads the 17-character VIN and tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the brand lists 8 models: 124 Spider, 500, 595, 600, 695, Fastback, Pulse and Punto. Version data covers model years 2007 to 2024, in body styles from Roadster, Convertible and Cabriolet to Hatchback and SUV, with the highest power in our data at 190 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. The decoder on this page is free and needs no registration.

  • The model year
  • The country of manufacture
  • The assembly plant, when it is coded
  • The vehicle type and body style, where the manufacturer encodes it
  • Engine and model details, where available
  • Whether the VIN structure and check digit are valid

How the VIN of an Abarth is read

Every VIN for a car built since 1981 has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. Characters 1 to 3 are the WMI, which names the manufacturer. Characters 4 to 8 describe the vehicle, character 9 is a check digit, character 10 is the model year, character 11 the plant, and characters 12 to 17 the serial number. The check digit is required in North America, while many European VINs fill that position differently, so do not read anything into it on its own.

At the moment we have no WMI codes mapped to Abarth, so there is no list of first-three-character codes to show here. That does not say anything about any particular VIN, it only means our list is incomplete. The model year is easier to illustrate. Our version data runs from 2007 to 2024, which on the tenth character means 7 for 2007, F for 2015 and R for 2024. Enter the full VIN above and the decoder does this lookup for you.

How a VIN is built

Every VIN has six parts. This is what each of them means.

Learn more about VINs

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.

Before you buy a used Abarth

  • Compare the VIN on the dashboard, the door frame and the documents. All three should match.
  • Look for signs of tampering around the VIN plate and the door frame sticker.
  • Ask for the service history and check it against the car.
  • Run a full history report to see recorded damage, mileage and theft records.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the VIN on an Abarth?

Check the registration papers first, since the VIN is printed there. On the car itself it is often visible at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, but the position can vary, so compare the number on the car with the one in the documents.

What do the first characters of an Abarth VIN mean?

The first three characters are the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer. We do not currently list any WMI codes for Abarth, so this page cannot confirm the brand from those characters alone.

How do I find the model year of my Abarth?

Look at the tenth character of the VIN. A 7 stands for 2007, F for 2015 and R for 2024, and our version data for the brand covers 2007 to 2024. The decoder shows the year as soon as you enter the full 17 characters.

What can the decoder not tell me about an Abarth?

It reads only the VIN, so it cannot show accidents, mileage, theft records or the number of owners. None of that is stored in the 17 characters.

What should I check before buying a used Abarth?

Make sure the VIN on the car matches the VIN in the registration papers, then decode it and compare the model year and country with what the seller tells you. Ask for service records, and look closely at the body style and version you are being offered, since the same name can cover several of them.
