Wasn't sure where to put this, so mods feel free to move it if needed!
My mum's got a 2007 Punto on 21,000 miles, got the MOT done today and the guy recommended that we get the timing belt done. I've had a look online and people are saying they need changing every 4-5 years or 40,000 miles. I took the belt cover off and the belt looks new tbh (its the original belt that's in there). The car was sitting for a year or so before we bought it (bought it new).
So, does it need changed or not? I'm on the fence after having a look at it, so thought i'd ask for some advice.
Cheers!
