Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 200,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 200,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Ford Maverick arrives at a notable inflection point in its generation. Complaints peaked sharply in 2023 (262) before dropping to 67 in 2024, and the 2025 data—just 2 complaints in the federal record—suggests early signs of stabilization, though the sample size remains limited. Recalls follow a similar arc, declining from 28 in 2022 to 15 in 2024, with 2025’s recall count not yet finalized but trending downward. The top complaint areas for 2025 are diffuse, with no single system dominating, and the low incidence of crash (3) and fire (1) complaints further indicates improving reliability. Compared to 2026’s minimal early data, 2025 appears to benefit from mid-cycle refinements while avoiding the unknowns of a newer model year. **Takeaway: The 2025 Maverick’s federal record positions it as a comparatively strong used buy, assuming the trend of declining issues holds.**
