Wife has a Mini Cooper S on a 53 plate with 40k miles, does the Cooper S have a belt or a chain?

If a belt, when would it be due?

Cheers in advance

dont forget that the crank is belt driven, not so much a problem on the cooper but on the cooper s it drives the supercharger so should be changed once in a while (im not sure how often thow)
