Does the Renault Scenic have any common faults?

I am thinking of buying a 2007 Renault Megane Scenic 1.5 DCI. Is there anything I should watch out for on this model?

Dashboard and electric parking brake failures are the most common. The 1.5DCI is belt cam and the belt will need to have been changed:

Far better than the previous model. The Grand model seats seven. Practical and versatile. Excellent crash test rating.
