It must be the older mk4 model registered late in 2015. The newer petrol engines did not come with power-shift, only the later diesels in the newer mk5 model.
Either that or the original reviewer is mistaken, but an easy mistake to make, there is lots of negative info out there on the internet about the automatic transmissions on these cars, and most are powershift. Either way, the automatics in Mondeos are not great, it does not surprise me it is failing at only 80,000 miles or so.

2015 Mondeo in the UK could be the Mk4 or Mk5; they sold the older one for another year after the newer model was introduced.
Either way, the gearboxes in these cars were not great. I know local taxi drivers that run both the diesel and petrol version of these cars, either with manual or automatic gearboxes. At higher mileage they had problems with the gearbox across all models, power-shift versions or not.
Shame really, the Mondeo is a fantastic car otherwise, but there are only a few engines and gearboxes in these cars worth going for; most are best avoided as they are older now, unless there is evidence of major engine and transmission overhaul work.
