About the Abarth 500

Manufacturer, model year, country: enter the VIN of the model Abarth 500 and the free decoder reads all three from the 17 characters. In our database the car Abarth 500 covers 2008 - 2023. It has 4 versions in total, is offered as Hatchback, Convertible, Cabriolet and lists power of 140 hp. A VIN tells you the maker, the model year and the country of manufacture. Where the plant is coded in the 11th character, that can be read as well.

Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. For a used model Abarth 500, mismatches matter: a different character in the documents, a model year that does not fit the 10th character, or a VIN with the wrong length all deserve a closer look.
