The FORD B-MAX (2012-18) 5DR MPV 1.4 90 EU5 STUDIO is a compact five-door people carrier, offering more cabin flexibility than a conventional small hatchback without the size of a larger family MPV. In the UK used-car market, it suits buyers wanting practical space in an easy-to-park package in town. Its standout feature is the wide-opening side access: the rear doors slide back, and the front and rear openings meet without a fixed centre pillar, making child seats and loading items easier. The 1.4-litre petrol engine is a straightforward choice for school runs, commuting and local trips, for small families. Mycarcheck.com recorded 41 look-ups covering 28 VINs, a snapshot rather than a survey. Checks show an average private-sale value of £3,900, recorded mileage of 59,000 and annual mileage of 5,000; cars had about 3.2 previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Meriva, the FORD B-MAX stands out for access and practicality.
