Usually between 60-70k miles. The manufacture has a set milage but this is only a guide and does depend on the driving wether in city or motorway. obviously with city driving the belt have dont more work once the milage has been reached. Safe to get it done, ensure that they change the tensioner(contains bearing) for the timing belt and whole water pump and or its bearing and seals. Hope this helps Stephen
