Ford B-Max Window Winder Motor Replacement Parts

The Ford B-Max was sold in the UK from 2012 to 2017 as a single generation with no major facelift that split the bodyshell into distinct phases, so motors from across that 2012–2017 range are generally considered the same generation. That said, whether a motor from an early 2012–2013 car crosses cleanly to a 2016–2017 car is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration, as minor production changes can affect compatibility. Always quote your reg when requesting a quote.

Yes, the side matters — NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right) motors are not interchangeable, as the internal mechanism is handed to suit each door. When getting a quote from a breaker, always specify whether you need the NS or OS motor. Getting the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes on window regulators and motors.

The Ford B-Max was built exclusively as a 5-door in the UK, so door count is not a variable you need to worry about when sourcing a window winder motor. What still matters is which of the five doors the motor is for — front, rear, or sliding rear — so make sure you specify the exact door position when contacting a breaker. The B-Max's rear doors are the sliding type, and those will use a different motor to the front-hinged doors.

Trim level — such as Zetec, Zetec Navigator, Titanium, or Titanium Navigator — does not affect window winder motor fitment on the B-Max, as the door structure and motor mounting are the same across the range. A motor from any of those trims will be the same part, provided the side and door position match. One cosmetic note: you may receive a motor with a different surrounding trim colour or finish, but the motor itself is the functional component and that won't affect whether it works.

The B-Max uses a door architecture unique to its sliding rear door design and its specific front door dimensions, so motors from the Fiesta or EcoSport are very unlikely to be compatible despite sharing some Ford platform DNA. The safest approach is to source a motor confirmed as B-Max specific, and let the breaker verify compatibility against your registration. Do not assume motors interchange across different Ford models without breaker confirmation.

Yes — the B-Max's rear doors are sliding rather than conventionally hinged, which means the rear window winder motor is specific to a sliding door mechanism and will differ from a standard hinged-door motor. You'll still need to specify NS or OS, as the two sliding doors are handed. Confirm with the breaker that the motor they have is listed for the B-Max sliding rear door and matches your side, quoting your registration for accuracy.
