The BMW 1 SERIES 3DR SPORTS HATCH (2015-18) 116D 3DR SPORTS HATCH 1.5 DPF SS 116 EU6 SE 6SPD is a compact, three-door hatchback for buyers wanting an enjoyable alternative to mainstream cars. In the UK market, it sits above city cars, with BMW badge appeal and a driver-focused feel. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 72 checks across 46 different VINs, a useful sample. The records show an average private-sale value of £4,700 and mileage of 88,000 miles; annual use averages 10,000 miles, with two to three keepers. Treat these figures as a guide, since condition and history matter for these models. The efficient 1.5-litre diesel suits regular commuters and couples who value low running costs and relaxed longer trips, while the three-door layout is less convenient for rear passengers. Against rivals such as the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf, it stands out for its distinctive badge, composed handling and premium cabin.
