Pulling the cover back and poking the back of the belt does not constitute checking it.

Wear will show mostly on the teeth, ideally you should remove the belt and check between teeth for cracks, perishing, damaged or misshapen teeth etc.
(at which point, as its off you'd stick a new one on anyway).

There's normally a time as well as mileage change, do which ever comes first. Time is normally five years

Just do it if you have any worry about it. Not worth risking the engine for the price of a belt.

If its done 50k change it(kit that is)how deep are your pockets if it fails?
