Ford Mondeo TDCi Transmission Issue

[Nickal]

Hello members, new to the group...apologies if this question is posted in the wrong thread.
Basically I own a 2014 Mondeo Auto Diesel (210000km) which from early own produced the dreaded transmission issues. I have learnt to live with said problem but the other day the vehicle decided to strip its timing belt with also the possibility of needing a new compressor. I really don't wont to spend on repairs for a vehicle with issues.
Here's my question: Do 2017, 2018 Mondeo Diesel Auto's have the same issues as their previous model?
I really like the units as they are economical / versatile but as you can image I am a little shy on purchasing the same model if the transmission issues weren't ever resolved.
Cheers in advance
