Petrol-specific checks on the Ford B-Max
- Cooling system. Water pump, thermostat and coolant condition are inspected for leaks and overheating risk.
- Oil consumption. We check oil level and condition and ask the right questions about top-ups, since heavy consumption points to worn rings or seals.
- Cold-start behaviour. A genuine cold start reveals knocks, smoke and rough running that a warmed-up engine hides.
- Timing chain or belt. We listen for chain rattle on start-up and check belt service history, because a skipped interval here is one of the most expensive engine faults to put right.
- Carbon build-up. Direct-injection petrol engines are prone to intake carbon; we look for rough idle, misfires and the symptoms that come with it.

Are there recurring problems on a second-hand Ford B-Max?

Will the inspector and the report on the Ford B-Max be in English?
Always, on both counts. Your inspector speaks fluent English and explains every finding in plain terms while you decide, and the written report on the Ford B-Max is produced in English. Each point is graded — sound, worth attention, or serious — so nothing is lost in translation when it matters most.
What exactly do you check on a used Ford B-Max?
We go right through the car: paint thickness panel by panel, the structure and underbody for corrosion or past repairs, the engine or battery and the drivetrain, full on-board diagnostics with live data, the suspension, steering and brakes, the interior and electronics, and a short road test. Across the petrol and diesel versions of the Ford B-Max, the checklist is adapted to the exact car you are buying.

Completely. We work only for you, the buyer — we do not sell cars and we take nothing from the seller. Our report on the Ford B-Max reflects only what we actually find, whether that lets the sale go ahead with confidence or stops you walking into an expensive mistake.

Yes. For electric and hybrid cars we add a high-voltage battery state-of-health check, charging behaviour and thermal-system checks on top of the standard inspection, all reported in English. If the Ford B-Max you are looking at is electric or hybrid, that battery assessment is usually the single most valuable part of the whole check.

Yes. Onsite mechanic Budapest is simply another way of describing what we do for the Ford B-Max: an independent, on-site inspection before you buy.
