The Villager has been fault free since purchase. I have replaced the shocks and struts. The strut mounts and some of the rubber components on the front end needed replacement. This is the only work I have had done over its life. The repair shop claimed he does a lot of Nissan suspensions of this vintage. The body & interior integrity are superb after this time and miles.
Great van!

1996 Mercury Villager Nautica 3dr Minivan

Leased our '96 Nautica '95 for 2 years and then bought it. It has been the best designed car we have ever owned. My husband has a 2008 Highlander, which he is very happy with, yet, it cannot haul as much cargo, is not as versatile, nor as comfortable for 7 people as the Villager. MPG in new cars has barely improved over the Villager after 14 years. But after 150,000 miles, the transmission is going out and other expensive things (locks, CD player, possibly air bags-- since light goes on)I hate to see it go. Wish they would still make it with the quality they made it then (plus a second slide door not yet available in 1996). Nautica drives like a luxury sedan with a height that is safer.

I've had this van for 5 yrs and wish they still made them, because I would buy another without another thought. It has provided reliability and performance above all other vehicles I have owned with very little maintenance required other then standard.
Not bad for the price...

Van now has 155,000 miles and has had only minor problems... but some worth mentioning. O2 sensor has been replaced twice, transmission has been extremely jerky at times. Interior quality is poor, with trim cracking or fading in many locations.

Bought this mini van used with 53K I have put over 110K on it and it has been relatively trouble free. Here are the things that I have replaced (mostly wear items) alternator, struts, shocks, brakes (rotors and drums), cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Note I have not replaced the timing belt yet (I thought it had a chain until recently). The rear heater/ AC went out. It is actually a common problem with the control in the dash. The relay for the rear control de-solders itself from the pc board and is an easy obvious fix (now that you know where to look). So if you find a Villager with the rear AC out don't be scared off. Also the doors do lock themselves. This is a con
