2014 BMW 1 Series 1.6d EfficientDynamics 5-door hatchback

Description

So, I’ve got this 2014 BMW 1 Series 1.6d EfficientDynamics hatchback – it’s one of those clean, well-maintained models that just feels solid. It’s a 5-door, diesel manual with 6-speed, and it’s been kept in great shape since new. The colour’s black, with that nice BMW styling – subtle but sharp, and it comes with sporty alloy wheels that don’t look flashy but actually fit the car really well.

Inside, it’s tidy and feels lived-in but not worn out. The seats are soft and properly upholstered, and the dashboard is clean with all the features you’d expect – Bluetooth, DAB radio, sat nav, multi-function steering wheel, on-board computer, rear parking sensors, aircon, auto lights, electric windows, and all that safety stuff like airbags, ABS, and stability control. I’ve also got a spare key and the original CD player with AUX still works – nothing’s been fiddled with, just kept as it was.

It’s an HPI clear car, which means it’s been checked and has no major red flags. I’ve had it prepped with a fresh 12-month MOT before it goes to the buyer, so it’s ready to drive straight out of the gate. It’s had only two previous owners, which helps – it’s not been through a lot of hands, and it drives smoothly. The tyres are good, and the engine runs quietly, no coughing or strange noises.

I’m based in blaby, Leicestershire, so if you’re around, I can show it to you whenever you’re free. I’m happy to chat – no emails, just calls. I’ve got a bit of experience in cars, and I’ve worked in the trade for a while, so I know what to look for.

It’s a solid, practical car – not flashy, not overpriced, just a real deal. I’m not selling it because I need cash, it’s just sitting in the garage with a bit of love and some good use. I’m offering it with a one-month warranty minimum – covers engine and gearbox, and most big bits, though not the cam or timing chain. It’s a 50/50 split if something goes wrong, so you pay half and I pay half – it’s just a way of making sure both sides take responsibility.

If you're thinking about it, just give me a ring. I’ll be honest about it, and we can go through it properly. No pressure, just a real car, in a real location, with real details.

Open 7 days a week – I’m usually around between 9am and 4pm, though weekends I’ll be a bit more flexible.

Price is £5,625 – that’s not the point here, just something to know if you’re thinking about it.

I’m not selling it to anyone who just wants to drive it and then leave it in a field. It’s got a purpose – and I’m hoping it finds the right person who values it.
