Cambelt change is either every 80k or 5 years, whichever comes first, so it sounds like this one is due/overdue, depending on whether the last change was within 5 years. I (very nearly...) pushed this too far with my S8, as the chain tensioner broke when MJ moved it from the front of her place to inside the workshop! (
see her thread on this) - a very lucky escape from a potentially terminal mistake!
