Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford B-MAX presents a generall
When viewing this B-MAX, check the physical condition of the unique pillarless sliding doors and their locking mechanisms, as these are specific to the model and can be costly to rectify if neglected. Request a comprehensive inspection of the 998.0cc EcoBoost petrol engine, ensuring that coolant levels are stable and oil change intervals have been strictly adhered to, given the wet-belt design common to this engine family.
Negotiate on price if the physical inspection reveals that the brake pads, tyres, or suspension components noted in the March 2024 MOT advisories have not been recently replaced. Ensure all electrical features, including the stop lamps that failed in the 2023 test, operate correctly during your test drive.
Equipped with a 998.0cc petrol engine, this vehicle generally benefits from favorable fuel economy typical of small-capacity turbocharged units, though real-world figures will depend heavily on driving style and urban versus motorway usage. Annual road tax falls into standard classifications for vehicles of this age, while insurance falls into a moderate group suited for families and everyday commuters.
Maintenance costs should remain relatively standard for a Ford, but buyers must factor in potential expenditure for consumable items such as tyres, brake components, and periodic suspension checks. Estimated annual running costs, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated at £1,100 to £1,400.
Pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically checking the coil springs for corrosion following the advisory noted on the offside rear spring in March 2024. Suspension components are among the top failure reasons for this model nationally, so examine the arms, bushes, and dampers for wear.
Examine the tyres thoroughly across all four corners for signs of perishing, cracking, or edge wear, referencing the nearside and offside front tyre issues flagged during the March 2024 test. Additionally, verify the thickness of the front inner brake pads, which were previously recorded as wearing thin on the limit.
First registered in October 2015, this silver Ford B-MAX features a 998.0cc petrol engine and has recorded 73,581 miles by January 2026. Its MOT history shows four passes and one historical failure for a stop lamp in March 2023, alongside a March 2024 test that noted worn tyres, thin brake pads, and a corroded coil spring before subsequently passing. While the vehicle performs well in recent testing with pass outcomes in late 2024 and early 2026 free of defects, its mileage sits significantly above the national average for this model.
The Ford B-MAX has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.2% across more than 55,000 vehicles analysed, with suspension arms and tyres serving as the most common failure points.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: FORD B-MAX
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- PowerShift Gearbox Judder and Failure(Serious)
The dry-clutch 6DCT250 PowerShift automatic is notoriously problematic. Juddering on pull-away, hesitation during gear changes and eventual clutch or mechatronic failure are common, especially on cars used in stop-start urban traffic.
- Sliding Door Mechanism and Sensor Faults(Moderate)
The innovative sliding rear doors can fail to lock properly, trigger dashboard warnings, or become difficult to close. Faulty door latches, sensor failures or worn wiring in the door channels are the usual culprits.
- 1.0 EcoBoost Wet Belt and Coolant Leaks(Serious)
The 1.0 EcoBoost engine uses an oil-bath timing belt that degrades over time. The cooling system is also prone to leaks from the expansion tank and hoses. Left unfixed, coolant loss can lead to overheating and cylinder head damage.
- Electrical Gremlins and Battery Drain(Moderate)
The B-Max can develop battery drain issues especially if left unused for a few days. General electrical gremlins include infotainment glitches and heated windscreen failures.
