Alfa MiTo Cambelt interval
Discussion
Looking to buy an Alfa MiTo - was originally looking at the 1.4 petrol 135bhp model, or 170bhp Cloverleaf.
As I am new to Alfa's, I have done a search online but not found an answer to this; when are the cambelt intervals, and are they different intervals for the 1.4 105bhp model to the 135/170 bhp models? I've read somewhere that its every 5 years or 60k on the 135/170 models, however not sure about the 105 model?
Don't want to buy one and have to get it done straight away, or at least I need to be asking the seller whether it has been changed.
Thanks in advance

Looks like four years unless you can pass a tricky little test: http://www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/alfa_mito_giulietta_...
FIAT group cars do seem to need more regular cam belt change others but I presume that it's the same belt manufacturers. IME and that of friends and family it's not the belt that fails but the idler pinion or water pump that seizes, for example, throwing off and mangling the belt. So cam belt interval should really be an engine check interval.
