If you're going to check it you may as well change it.

It's a 52 and the mileage is like 88k now.
It didn't have any service history or anything, I think the guy said it had a cambelt change before but I don't remember, that was over a year ago that I bought the car so I don't remeber! It has it's MOT in May, is going to a colleague's garage, where I might ask him to check it and also check the AUX belt too.
