Dpf problems do occur but seem pretty rare. But they can be costly.
Is new out of your budget? The new model in 2.0 turbo 4 petrol would be good.
My private mechanic who has many decades of experience with European cars says the wet Powershift is fine. The dry ones in the Focus, et al are a problem however even the later versions of those appear to have solved the major issues anyway. The only real issue with the Powershift in the Mondeo is the slight hesitation from rest. Love our Mondeo!!!
