Normal wear and tear items eg. brakes, tyres, exhaust etc. Electrical items can be a problem, the rear wiper has never works for more than a week! Front washers do work but sometime you have to be patient (always worked for the MOT though). Engine drops oil but does not burn a bit.
For a 10 year old 160,000+ mile petrol car I have no complaints and would recommend it to anyone.
I think the comments about the renault espace 2000-i are fair and truthful, I have a 1990 espace 2000-i and I love driving it, The vehicle has almost 190'000 miles on it and it still gives me that Get up and Go Feeling everytime I step into it, This year to celebrate it's 15th year since first registation I got it the completely rebuilt to new standards This included everything including new engine mounts, shock absorbers, steering rack, wheelbearings, ball joints, track rod ends etc etc, we also had the engine overhauled,As you probably have guessed I am passionate about the car.
