How often should I replace the timing belt on my Vauxhall Zafira Life?

I just bought a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and I'm not sure when the timing belt should be replaced. I want to make sure I'm maintaining my car properly to avoid any major issues in the future.

It is recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. This is to prevent any potential damage to the engine and ensure smooth operation of your car.

If you're unsure about the mileage or age of the timing belt, you should get it checked by a mechanic. Replacing the timing belt is much more cost effective than dealing with a broken one.

Always consult your car's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule. Different models may have different intervals for replacing the timing belt.
