Nothing wrong with the diesel DCT mondeo's I sold mine (MC) at circa 194,000 km. Great car.
Side stepped into a falcon due known durability and (much) cheaper servicing.
I was worried about durability and replacement cost of diesel DCT parts past 200k km. Hadn't heard to many stories of people exceeding those km at the time of decision making
The Falcon also has a smart bar, (had one on my v8 RTV) and highly recommend them (for the smaller stuff). Had a steel bar on my ranger and that got me home after an encounter with a 6 ft red, but needed a panel beater.
