Driveshaft removed and replaced?
I am considering the purchase of a 2008 Mercury Milan AWD with 43000 miles. The carfax reports that the Driveshaft was removed and replaced at 24000 miles by the dealer. No report of accident at that time though. Should I be concerned?

That means it "locks in", partially to full, the rear driveline regardless of roadbed conditions, HIGHLY tractive to ICE. Engaging both drivelines on even a moderately tractive surface can, DOES, result in premature driveline components due to the undue stress/HEAT.
Vehicles south of the snowline and/or with leadfoot, "boy-racer" owners, would undoubtedly be more prone to failing prematurely.
Replacing a driveshaft is NOTHING. I wouldn't worry about that one bit!
