Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2007-13) 116I 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 122 ES STEP AUTO6 is a premium compact hatchback, offering BMW badge appeal in a size suited to UK streets and parking. This three-door petrol model pairs a 2.0-litre engine with an automatic gearbox, making it an alternative to mainstream hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus.
mycarcheck.com recorded 44 look-ups covering 20 different VINs, a useful but modest snapshot of used-car interest. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £2,600, average recorded mileage 86,000 miles and annual mileage 5,000 miles. Vehicles had an average of about 4.2 previous keepers, so checking an individual car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile.
Its rear-wheel-drive layout offers an engaging, balanced feel compared with many front-wheel-drive rivals, while the automatic suits stop-start commuting and trips. The three-door body and rear access make it less family-practical, but appealing to solo drivers or couples.
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.
