The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 116D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 DPF SS 116 EU5 URBAN PROFESSIONAL MEDIA 6SPD is a premium compact hatchback, giving UK buyers a smart, more driver-focused alternative to mainstream small family cars. Its three-door shape looks sporty, and it competes with used Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf models for buyers wanting an upmarket badge. mycarcheck.com has recorded 14 checks across seven VINs, so this is a modest sample rather than a market-wide picture. Those records show an average private-sale value of £5,600, average mileage of 75,000 and annual mileage of 6,000. Cars checked had about three previous keepers on average; condition and history will affect prices. Suited to commuters and couples, the 116d seats occasional passengers, though three doors are less handy for families. Its diesel engine and stop-start system aim to limit fuel costs; Urban Professional Media trim adds entertainment features. Check history and condition before buying.
