The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 122 SE 6SPD is a premium, three-door petrol hatchback, sitting above everyday small cars in the UK market. It offers BMW’s more upmarket feel in a compact package, with a distinctive driver-focused character and a practical hatchback boot for daily use.
Mycarcheck.com recorded 179 look-ups covering 102 different VINs, providing a useful snapshot of cars being checked. The average private-sale valuation was £2,600, with average recorded mileage of 86,000 and annual mileage of 8,000. Checks showed an average of around 3.7 previous keepers, so review each car’s history and condition carefully.
It suits commuters, couples and drivers seeking a smarter alternative to mainstream hatchbacks, though rear-seat access is less convenient for families. Rear-wheel drive adds driver appeal; against a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf, its premium badge and character stand out. Check history and condition before you commit to buying one.
Before buying a BMW 1 Series, check for outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—overlooking a warning could cost you.
