If you have the 2.0 DOHC engine, it should have been replaced at 60,000 miles. You cannot just look at a belt and tell if it needs replacing. It may look fine and also be ready to fail, as there is no warning of imminent failure. This is why the manufacture has a set time for replacement. Your engine is NOT an interference engine so no damage will occur if it breaks, but you could be stranded and have to pay for a tow. So, if the belt has never been replaced, you are running on borrowed time and it could break at any moment. Replace it ASAP!
