Default MD Mondeo Trend Ecoboost (2015 or 2016) - Problems?

I'm looking at getting an ex-lease MD Mondeo Trend Ecoboost as company car. Work normally get Mazda6 or Camry. I would like Mondeo...
Company work gets their cars through (ex-lease) have told work the Mondeo has heaps of problems and they wouldn't touch them! I am aware of teh MC transmission servicing requirement of 60,000kms to avoid trans problems.
Any other valid reasons I should not push for a MD Mondeo?
Thanks in advance

I've owned my 2015 Trend Ecoboost for almost three years and have covered just over 30000 km.

The only fault I've encountered is a leak from the windscreen washer bottle which was caused by the seal around the pump. The pump was replaced under warranty.

The transmission in the MD Ecoboost is a standard slush box automatic which does not require servicing until 160000 Km or 10 years under normal operating conditions.

I would buy another Mondeo without hesitation.

slushbox auto so no problems there

can't see any other common failure points besides recalls that have reared their head.

'ex-lease' company need to lift their game and look more closely at the current model, not previous models that may or may not have had an issue.

Great stuff, thank you... I was hoping (and suspicious) their opinion may be a bit self serving but wanted to check first! Funny they didn't have any Mondeo's on their yard but had stock of Mazda and Toyota's to clear :-)
I know every brand of car manufacturer has "niggles"...
Cheers
