BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 122 ES STEP AUTO6

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 122 ES STEP AUTO6 is a premium, three-door family hatchback: smaller and easier to park than a saloon, but more upmarket in feel than many mainstream rivals. Its automatic gearbox suits drivers who want relaxed, straightforward motoring. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 76 look-ups across 13 distinct VINs, with checks dating back to March 2021. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £2,000 and average recorded mileage of 88,000 miles. Average annual mileage is 6,000, while cars have had about five previous keepers, a useful reminder to check each car’s history and condition rather than assume they’re all alike. This BMW suits commuters, couples and small households wanting an enjoyable hatchback, though three doors are less convenient for rear passengers. Its lively feel and badge appeal distinguish it from a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf; inspect service records and test the automatic carefully.
