Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116I 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 122 SE STEP AUTO is a premium five-door petrol hatchback, more polished than a basic city car yet compact for urban use. Its automatic gearbox and SE trim favour comfort, while rear-wheel drive gives it a distinctive feel among small hatchbacks. Mycarcheck.com data includes 355 checks covering 140 distinct VINs, indicating a useful sample of buyer interest. The average private-sale valuation is £2,700, with average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000. Checked cars had nearly four previous keepers on average; individual history, maintenance and condition matter more than these figures. It suits commuters, couples and small households wanting an easy daily car with rear doors. Against a Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus, it feels more premium and engaging, though cabin space is less generous. A used BMW 116i automatic stands out, but check service history and running costs.
