Espace 3,5 V6

Looking into a 2010 short wheelbase Espace (Initiale trim) with relatively low milage. What is the reliability prognosis on these (potential to throw massive bills)?

Engine wise it's the same as the Nissan 350z, so pretty much bullet proof as long as it's not completely ignored.

Thanks...any other gremlins I should be on the lookout for

My dad bought one with 27k miles on it - he always wanted one. He's put 10k miles on it with no major issues. After he pumped up the tyres he's getting ~30mpg. Seats 7 people nicely, and certainly moves when he plants it! Keeps up with my 182 easily.

Gearboxes I believe are worth keeping an eye on. All are 5 speed tiptronics on the V6's, they do the job. And of course French electrics are worth keeping an eye on (but we've always had Renaults and we've never had any electrical issues I can recall.
