That's unfortunate she was injured in an accident but great to hear that the car proved itself enough to put your trust in another one to keep you all safe.
What model year are you thinking to replace with? MC or MD?
The only known common fault with the DCT450 Powershift used in Mondeo (MC/MD TDCi and also MC EcoBoost) is the input speed sensor failure, and at a certain point in time (2012?), a revision was introduced that supposedly addressed the problem. If the previous car was a 2014, then I assume you're not likely to go any older, so any car you look at should not be prone to the fault. The Powershift can still develop problems if it's not maintained properly so just make sure all scheduled oil changes have been done by the book and it should otherwise be a reliable unit.
MD EcoBoost now uses a conventional automatic gearbox and there's likewise no known issues with that.
