How often should I change the timing belt on my Vauxhall Corsa?

I've recently bought a used Vauxhall Corsa and I'm not sure when the timing belt was last changed. How often should I get it changed to ensure the car's reliability and avoid any potential damage?

Ideally, you should follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule for timing belt replacement, which is typically every 60,000-100,000 miles. However, it's always a good idea to check with a mechanic to assess the condition of your specific timing belt.

In my personal experience, I've found that changing the timing belt every 80,000 miles has worked well for my Vauxhall Corsa. But remember, every car is different, so make sure to get a professional opinion.

As a general rule, it's recommended to change the timing belt every 4-6 years, even if you haven't reached the mileage. This will ensure that the belt doesn't deteriorate over time due to factors like heat and moisture.
