FORD B-MAX Common
As of 2026 Q1, 52,591 FORD B-MAXs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 54,996 in 2021 Q4 — only 96% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2,405 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 598 a year (1.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2087 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.

About the B-MAX
The Ford B-Max (stylized as Ford B-MAX) is a mini MPV (M-segment) manufactured by Ford Europe from 2012 to 2017. Built on the Ford global B platform, it was initially unveiled as a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and was officially launched at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Production began in June 2012, and marketing of the first units started during late July. It was launched in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2012. The B-Max is based on the Ford Fiesta, and its main rivals were the Fiat 500L, the Citroën C3 Picasso and the Nissan Note.
