Did i just found a good 1.5 Ecoboost?

Hi, I’m looking at a 2016 Ford Focus 1.5L GTDI (EcoBoost) petrol passenger car. Seller claims it’s “not the DCT issue version,” but I’m unsure what that actually means.

Details:
-1.5L EcoBoost (GTDI)
-2016 model, gasoline
-Engine type: M9DCFJ27857 (per docs)

Questions:
-Is the 1.5 EcoBoost reliable long-term?
-Is the transmission still a major concern even if it’s “not DCT”?
-Worth buying in 2026 or better to avoid?

Appreciate any advice.
