The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 118D 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 DPF SS 143 EU5 SE 6SPD is a premium-minded five-door family hatchback, offering a compact alternative to a larger saloon while sitting above many mainstream small cars. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,257 look-ups across 919 different VINs, giving a substantial picture of examples checked. Its average private-sale valuation is £3,800. With five doors and a hatchback boot, it suits commuting, everyday errands and small-family duties, while its 2.0-litre diesel engine appeals to drivers covering regular longer journeys. The SE trim aims for a comfortable, well-equipped feel, and the 143hp 118d is known for combining brisk, confident performance with strong real-world economy. A rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a more involving feel than many front-wheel-drive hatchback rivals, though buyers should check that this suits their needs. Mycarcheck.com records average mileage of 116,000, annual mileage of 8,000 and just over three previous keepers.
