Prob ideal car for that use, be aware of the 1.0l ecoboost splitting it's coolant hoses and cracking the cyl head. Think Ford have finally done a proper recall and are replacing hoses and putting a level check in the coolant tank.
Only other thing I know of, they can leak as use similar type of rear boot vent to the focus which leaks water in behind rear bumper into boot floor (which fills up abs spills over into the back seat and then the front, it's horrendous to deal with as car will be mouldy front to back.
Simply lift boot carpet an check its dry. Also check other carpets as they can leak in through door seals (corner of that funky door) and ac unit under dash can crack and instead of the water going down the drain and under the car, it runs out side of casing and into floor carpets.

Awesome - that's exactly the sort of advice I needed.
I am meeting some resistance as apparently it 'looks boring'. 🙄

Hi again,
Still considering the B-Max. I've done a little bit of research and the coolant issue looks to have been up to 2014...is that right? In which case, for a 2016 vehicle is it a non-issue? Thanks again for your advice!

2016 Ford B-Max...talk to me.
Looking for a smallish comfortable, economical, some-time load lugger, eventual family car.
Anything to be wary of?
