I've owned 2 EuroVan automatics, the first we put 166K on it with no problems, the current EuroVan has 185K and no problems. Most issues we have seen with the early EuroVan automatics can be solved with replacing the transmission mount, or in the worst case a rebuilt valve body. I do not believe that any of the EuroVan automatic transmissions are problematic. Now hopefully if you buy a 1993-1995 automatic, you will know the history and check to see if it had regular service and it was well taken care of.
