Default MC Mondeo Ecoboost requires new engine

My wifes 2013 MC Mondeo Titanium ecoboost with 7400km on it requires a new motor due to suspected ring/piston damage. The car has been serviced as per log book schedule and has never been thrashed.



We bought the car mid 2014 with 3000km on it so have owned for just over 5 years. Ford is unwilling to assist with repairs despite its non-compliance with Australian Consumer Law - Customer guarantees. The car is worth around 13k according to Carsales prices.


Ford has quoted 12k for a new engine and I'm unable to find suitable used ecoboost motor from a wrecked MC Mondeo in the country. A used motor swap is worth around 6.5-7k installed.



There are several low km wrecked MD ecoboost motors available but I have been advised that they are not compatible with a MC.


Effectively my car is now a write-off and its unacceptable that a motor should expire at 74000km. If anybody has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
