I don't think anyone should be too frightened of buying a Mondeo with the DCT transmission. Being a wet clutch DCT they are far removed from the issues that affected the Focus.

While owners have experienced issues with this transmission in the past there are many that are approaching and have exceeded 200000km. Aso, the Talkford website isn't describing widespread issues with this transmission.

I have a diesel hatch with DCT. I've had zero issues with transmission in 70000km. In fact, I would rate this as the best automatic transmission I've experienced.

My only concern with this vehicle is when it comes to selling. Ignorance and fear surrounding the transmission may make it a difficult car to sell.
