Used Ford B-Max Sump

The Ford B-Max was produced as a single generation from 2012 to 2017, so there is no major generational boundary between a 2013 and 2016 car — but fitment of the sump depends primarily on the engine code, not the year alone. If both cars share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), fitment is much more likely; if the engine codes differ, the sumps may not interchange even within the same model run. Confirm the engine code on both vehicles with the breaker before ordering.

No — petrol and diesel engines are entirely different units with different sump designs, so a petrol sump will not fit a diesel engine and vice versa. The engine code is the definitive guide here; supply your code to the breaker to make sure you are quoted the correct part. Never assume a sump will cross the fuel-type divide.

Trim level does not affect sump fitment on the B-Max — the sump follows the engine, not the badge. A Zetec and a Titanium fitted with the same engine code will use the same sump, so there is no mechanical reason to seek a trim-matched part. What matters is matching the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, so have those details ready when you contact a breaker.

The 1.0 EcoBoost engine was used across several Ford models of the same era, and sumps from the same engine code fitted to other Ford vehicles may physically interchange with your B-Max unit. However, minor ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production even within the same engine family, so confirm compatibility against your exact registration and engine code with the breaker rather than assuming all 1.0 EcoBoost sumps are identical.

The Ford B-Max (2012–2017) received a mid-life refresh around 2015, primarily involving cosmetic and equipment updates rather than fundamental powertrain changes. For a mechanical part like the sump, the engine code remains the key fitment factor rather than whether the car is pre- or post-refresh. That said, if you are sourcing a sump that crosses the 2015 boundary, it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration that no ancillary or mounting changes affect your specific application.

The most useful detail you can supply is the engine code, which is printed on your V5C or can be obtained via a VIN check — this matters more than the year or trim level for a mechanical part like a sump. You should also confirm your fuel type (petrol or diesel) and gearbox type (manual or automatic), as these can influence which sump is correct. Having your registration to hand allows the breaker to cross-reference everything and verify fitment before you commit to buying.
