BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 118D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 143 SE DYNAMIC 6SPD
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 118D 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 143 SE DYNAMIC 6SPD is a compact premium hatchback: a more upmarket alternative to mainstream small family cars, with three doors and a diesel engine. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,256 checks across 584 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used examples.
With its compact footprint, it suits commuting and longer journeys, though three doors make rear-seat access less convenient than in a five-door rival. The 118d’s 143hp diesel and six-speed manual offer relaxed motoring, while the 1 Series is known for a more engaging drive than many front-wheel-drive hatchbacks.
Check history and condition carefully: examples average 130,000 miles, 8,000 miles a year and nearly five previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £2,100 in these checks, not a guaranteed price. For drivers seeking premium feel and confident road manners over rear-seat practicality, this BMW 1 SERIES 118D is a distinctive used-car choice.
Before buying a BMW 1 Series, check for outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could cost you.
