How can you tell if timing belt has been replaced on 1998 Ford Escort SE Sport?

Unfortunately you cannot tell for sure by looking. It may lookpretty goodand be ready to break. Fortunately this is not an interference engine. If it breaks you may be stranded but no engine damage will occur. The Ford 2.0L 4-cylinder (SOHC) engine requires inspecting the cam belt at 120,000 miles and replacing as necessary. If it looks great, you can risk it and not replace it. My advice would be to just replace it at 120,000 miles. If the car has over 120,000 on it already, take a good hard look at the belt. if you see no cracks or wear, it probably has been replaced.
