BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 118I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SS 170 EU6 SPORT BUSINESS MEDIA AUTO8
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 1 SERIES (2011-15) 118I 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 SS 170 EU6 SPORT BUSINESS MEDIA AUTO8 is a premium compact hatchback. Its three-door body gives it a sportier look, while the petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit drivers wanting easy everyday motoring. It bridges city cars and family hatchbacks in Britain.
Mycarcheck.com recorded 26 checks across 13 VINs, a useful snapshot but not a full market picture. Average private-sale value was £7,000, latest mileage 56,000 miles and annual mileage 8,000; cars averaged about 2.5 previous keepers. This hatchback suits commuters, couples and small households looking for comfort, style and everyday usability.
Compared with a Volkswagen Golf or Audi A3, the BMW feels more driver-focused, with lively responses and the engaging feel BMW is known for. The 118i’s 170hp petrol engine and eight-speed automatic make joining traffic and longer trips effortless; the three-door layout, however, is less convenient for frequent rear-seat access.
Buying a used BMW 1 Series? Outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, clocked mileage or theft could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
