It won’t be the current one, it’ll be the earlier pre facelift example....
That said, only 9 such cars on Autotrader and none stand out as particularly desirable tbh!
I’d say - for this money OP - the Focus would be a better bet although I wouldn’t want the automatic variant.
A 2013 1 Series is an F20. The current 1 Series is still the F20.
Yes, I’m well aware of that which is why I specifically referred to the pre facelift one which isn’t current, or putting it another way, we’re you to go and buy a current model 1 Series tomorrow, it would be the facelift example which the OP’s budget isn’t.
Therefore it’s not current despite still having the same model designation.

I've got a 3 series 2010, bought 3 years ago with 126k on the clock and its brilliant.
Only cost is tyres and a wheel bearing, the dribbling shockers were my choice to replace.
Oh and the remap was my choice as well.
Like any car when you buy - pot luck.

It's the same car with some tweaked lights. When people refer to a 'generation' of car, it means the entire production run including both pre and post facelift.
