HI OWNERSJUST TO SAY MY 1.6 L DURATEC FORD HAS BEEN SO RELIABLE.THE FORD SERVICE AGREEMENT I USE EFFICIENTLY ENSURES STOP / START EVERY TRIP.
CAR IS USED EVERY DAY 2013 MODEL BUT REGISTERED FROM GARAGE 2014 AFTER 866 MILES AS DEMO VEHICLE.
I HAVE CLOCKED UP 17000 MILES TO DATE AFTER 3 YEARS.HAPPY DRIVE TOO.

Cant complain about my 1.0 123 bhp version. 8,000 miles without a single glitch so far.

What Car readers agree, apparently. The B Max is the most reliable MPV, according to their survey.

Take the Powershift out of the equation and who knows how much higher the Baby Max might have scored?

How does the 1.4 engine fair? I know it is old school technology so should be robust.

Hi Wazza,

On my second 1.4 now, ca. 30K on first and second just 4K. At this moment never had as much as a hiccup from either.

Thanks for the info.
Pity titanium was never available with 1.4.

I had the 1.4 on my mk6 fiesta. 1.25 on my mk 7 fiesta was actually better. The 1.0 123 bhp on my b max is mindblowing by comparison.

Fiestas gave me both about 43 mpg. B max averaging 45 mpg.

Good to hear, forums are often full of issues so it's good to report back on things going well.
