I bought my Trafic after it had done 37,000 miles. The gearbox needed replacing at 39,000 miles - about six weeks inside the three year warranty. I had a record of previous work done on it too from the previous owner and it had been in to rectify some problem with clutch disengagement and an issue with the clutch cylinder. I have had the rear door handle mechanism fail three times now and need fixing. The RAC did it for me twice and I paid on another occasion as it was going in for something else anyway. My most recent problem was the pump that squirts the windscreen. Currently awaiting a replacement to get it through the MOT.
OK the clutch issues were dealt with under warranty by the previous owner and the gearbox was replaced free of charge under warranty as well during my ownership. The rest of it is niggling stuff but still time consuming. That's the biggest pain really. The time and hassle of getting stuff sorted out and waiting to get it in for repair. If the vehicle can be used while awaiting repair then it's not so bad but often, the time lost for work is greater than the repair bill.
My fears may prove unfounded but I don't trust my van. However, the loan on it has 3 years and seven months to run and I prefer to keep it until the loan is paid up. By that time it will be getting on for eight years old and, at my current rate of usage, will have done about 90,000 miles - not particularly high for a van. I just hope that it trundles along without major parts going wrong until then. Some sort of resale or part-x value would be helpful too.
