What problems can I expect when restarting my Renault Clio which has been stood for two years?

I have a Renault Clio 172 which has been stood for two and a half years. Before it was parked up it had the head rebuilt and the cam belt done. it only has 42,000 miles and it's a 52 plate. What sort of problems could I expect when I have it back?
