Pretty sure first cambelt change should be at 60k or after 4 yrs.  Whichever comes first.

The dealer I got my car from changed the cambelt before I bought it.  It had done 51k.

cam belt changes have been confusing for years
it used to be 80k or 5years whichever came first but think they recently changed it to 80k or 4 years.
my ed30 is 4 years old in june but only done 25k and thinking of having it done.

its unlikely to break but everyone will recommend having it done to avoid giving duff advice
...........my ED 30 was 4 years old & only 26k but still had it done.Thing is tho all the parts  that came off looked brand new.
