The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 120D 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 DPF 177 ES DYNAMIC 6SPD is a compact, premium two-door soft-top, offering a stylish alternative to family hatchbacks. In the UK used-car market it sits among small prestige convertibles, competing with models such as the Audi A3 Cabriolet and Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. Its 2.0-litre diesel engine and six-speed manual make it suited to open-road journeys as well as everyday use. Mycarcheck.com has 19 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a small-sample snapshot. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,900 and average recorded mileage of 131,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 3,000, while the average keeper count is about eight, an unusually high figure that makes careful checks of service history, ownership changes and condition especially worthwhile. It suits couples seeking an open-air commuter, but limited rear-seat and boot space make it less practical than a hatchback.
