Mercury Milan owners have reported a total of 3,106 problems for their cars built in the 6 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Mercury Milan. The 2010 Mercury Milan cars have the most problems reported (1,356 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2011 Milan | |
| 2010 Milan | |
| 2009 Milan | |
| 2008 Milan | |
| 2007 Milan | |
| 2006 Milan |
The following chart shows the 24 most common problems for Mercury Milan cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's air bags (777 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's service brakes, hydraulic (568 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Mercury Milan of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Milan model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Mercury Milan model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Mercury Milan is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
