The Ford B-Max has received positive feedback from owners for its roomy interior, practical features like sliding doors, and strong performance. Many drivers appreciate the spacious leg room and thoughtful additions such as parking sensors and a reverse camera. However, some have raised concerns about the small appearance of the wheels and a blind spot created by the door design, particularly affecting visibility at junctions. There's a collective disappointment among fans that production ended in 2018, as many view this vehicle as a true gem.

Being a Ford its Reliable . Good points. Cheap to run, quiet and pokey 1ltr turbo. No centre pillars in between the doors. Bad points. Wet belt, over a £1000 to replace, stupid idea. Needs chain drive and this engine would see over 200k miles easy. Leak in the boot and door panel is common. Would prefer a sunroof to the panoramic roof.

It’s a lovely car. I have had 3 and am so sad that they stopped manufacturing them in 2018. I would love a newer model. The ecoboost makes it a really nippy car. The leg room in the back seats is very spacious. The sliding doors are ideal when parked between 2 cars and you have children in the back. It prevents them smacking the door into the other cars when opening them.

I absolutely love the Bmax.! The ecoboost is economical and very cheap to tax. As a blue badge holder I love the high driving position. The best feature by far is the back sliding doors, which are brilliant for small children, and the boot size is great. I would have given five stars but for the blind spot where the front and back doors meet - it can make watching for traffic coming from the right at a junction difficult to see if you are turning left and craning your neck to see past it. Such a shame production was stopped on this gem of a car.

Ford B-Max (2012-2017) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lots of space inside for such a small car | Iffy Powershift automatic gearbox |
| Sliding rear doors make getting in and out easy | Some electrical issues |
| Fun to drive | Not as fashionable as a small SUV |
Quick Summary
The Ford B-Max (2012-2017) is a clever compact MPV that maximises interior space without compromising on driving enjoyment. Its standout feature is the innovative sliding rear doors that create a 150cm opening—double the typical 70-80cm—making access for children and passengers remarkably easy. Based on the mk6 Fiesta platform, the B-Max delivers surprising agility and refinement, with well-contained body roll and sharp steering that make it genuinely fun to drive. The spacious interior accommodates two adults comfortably in the back, whilst the 318-litre boot expands to 1,386 litres with rear seats folded.
Engine options include efficient 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrols (100hp and 120hp variants) delivering around 40mpg in real-world driving, alongside 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol units. Diesel choices comprise 1.5 and 1.6-litre TDCi engines, with the 95hp 1.5 offering impressive fuel economy. A slick five-speed manual gearbox is standard, though a six-speed Powershift automatic is available on the 1.6-litre petrol. Trim levels—Zetec, Titanium, and Titanium X—offer good equipment progression, with the 2017 facelift adding sat-nav across the range. Running costs are low, with insurance groups 7-13 and affordable servicing. As a used car, the B-Max represents excellent value, combining practicality with engaging driving dynamics.
Best for: Families needing extra space without upsizing to a full MPV, parents with young children (thanks to the sliding doors), and drivers seeking a practical car that's genuinely enjoyable to drive.
Not ideal for: Those preferring the latest infotainment technology, buyers wanting a fashionable small SUV, or those considering the Powershift automatic transmission.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |

| Ford B-Max | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 34.3% | 4.4/5 |
| Honda Jazz | 4/5 | 4.6/5 | 28.3% | 4.3/5 |

| Citroën C3 Picasso | 4/5 | 4.4/5 | 32.1% | 4.2/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the B-Max if: You need extra space without a full MPV, have young children (the sliding doors are invaluable), or want a practical car that's genuinely fun to drive.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the latest infotainment technology, prefer a fashionable small SUV, or are concerned about the Powershift automatic transmission.
Competitive Position: The Ford B-Max (2012-2017) stands as the class leader among compact MPVs, outperforming rivals like the Nissan Note and Citroën C3 Picasso in driving dynamics and practicality. Its innovative sliding rear doors, spacious interior, and Fiesta-derived handling make it the standout choice for families seeking a small, versatile vehicle. Whilst compact MPVs are now a bodystyle consigned to automotive history, a used B-Max remains the best option in its segment, offering exceptional value, comfort, and engagement that few rivals can match.
