Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise checking the recent repairs. Since the May 2026 failure was due to nearside front and rear tyre issues, ensure that brand-new tyres have actually been fitted and that the wheel alignment is correct, especially given the previous advisory regarding uneven tyre wear.
Ask for documentation regarding the oil leak noted in February 2026. While it was described as 'not excessive' at the time, you should verify if any gaskets or seals were replaced to address the source. Additionally, confirm that the nearside rear coil spring, which failed in early 2026, has been replaced with a new component.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this B-Max in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for urban driving. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small MPV, though higher-than-average mileage may increase the frequency of service intervals.
Maintenance costs for this Ford model tend to be predictable, but you should budget for regular tyre replacements given the recurring issues seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this vehicle type.
Focus heavily on the suspension and tyres. The MOT history shows a fractured nearside rear coil spring and repeated failures for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having cuts reaching the cords. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns which could indicate alignment issues, and check the suspension components for any signs of recent work.
Secondly, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fresh oil residue. Although the February 2026 MOT recorded an oil leak that was 'not excessive', it is vital to ensure this hasn't worsened or been left unaddressed. Finally, verify that all exterior lighting, specifically the nearside rear stop lamp, is fully operational.
This 2018 Ford B-Max (MM67XGH) has covered 56,423 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,647 miles per year. The MOT history reveals several failures, specifically regarding tyre condition, a fractured coil spring, and an oil leak. The most recent test in May 2026 was a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure just two days prior for tyre issues.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and tyres being common failure points across the fleet.
