Cam belt on 2012 Clio

[TNJ]

First car for my son is a 2012 Clio 1.2 - so only 75 bhp but a reasonable first car. It has done 41k miles but I cannot see any evidence of a cam belt change.

Whilst the mileage is quite low, it should have had the cam belt change by now. It may have been done but as with many cars in a “budget” price range, service history is a bit patchy

How urgently should this be addressed - I know it is not a massive cost but from what I can see of the belt, it looks ok. I am trying to decide whether to get it done immediately or wait until a service or not is due

Would you take the risk or just swallow the cost?

Much as I thought - and I do agree - just painful forking our more cash for him but he should have checked the history a bit more carefully!

Sorry I haven’t checked back on this thread for a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the offers of help but I think I will just get it done - hopefully next week - as I would rather know for definite that it has been replaced.
