Ford B-Max.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Ford B-Max is a compact MPV that was sold between 2012 and 2017, notable for its pillarless sliding rear doors and practical interior layout. It shares much of its mechanical underpinnings with the Fiesta, which generally points to proven reliability, though some electrical niggles and specific mechanical weaknesses have emerged as the fleet ages. Most were bought for urban family use, meaning many have covered lower mileages but often in stop-start conditions. Buyers should focus on service history and pay close attention to known problem areas before committing.
