A friend of mine who runs his own one man car servicing business says on modern cars Cambelts have a much longer life. Old ford focus models needs to be changed every 5 years. It should be remembered that shorter journeys has move wear and tear on the car, so the mileage is not altogether relevant. As a guide he says the model in question should be changed either in 7 or 8 yeas or when 65000 has been reached if you do a lower annual mileage whichever every comes first. I hope this information may help.

It's like with servicing though, most people ignore the time and go purely on mileage..... Which is why buying low mileage vehicles can be like buying a time bomb.
