BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 120D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 BLUEPERFORMANCE DPF SS 184 EU6 SPORT AUTO8

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 120D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 BLUEPERFORMANCE DPF SS 184 EU6 SPORT AUTO8 is a premium compact, three-door hatchback: a more upmarket alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks, with a sporty, relatively compact footprint. Its automatic gearbox and strong diesel engine make it suited to drivers wanting an engaging everyday car without moving up to a larger saloon or SUV. It works well for commuters and couples who value responsive performance, comfortable longer journeys and a premium cabin, while the three-door layout is less convenient for frequent rear-seat access or family duties. Compared with Volkswagen Golf or Audi A3 alternatives, it stands out for its sporty feel and distinctive BMW character. mycarcheck.com records 60 look-ups across 27 different VINs, a useful snapshot; average recorded mileage is 82,000, with about 10,000 miles driven yearly. Average private-sale valuation is £6,700, and cars have had around three previous keepers in the sample.
