Default Cambelt (and seat belt warning light!) question

Well, I'm loving this car but I am wondering about the cambelt? It was done just 11,000 miles ago BUT it was June 2014. So the question is when should I be changing that?!

I have the bill for it and from a legitimate garage that is still open for business but not a specialist of any kind. However they did a fair bit of work on the car of various hues.

Plus is the seat belt warning a MOT fail? Mine doesn't warn, for driver or passenger and I'm not bothered at all about that. But I am if it's a MOT fail!

It doesn't have seat belt warning, which is probably why it isn't warning you

Timing belt is 80k or five years so you've got a while left on that.

Haha! I better not fail the MOT for it then! However I do believe all cars went to the dogs when that incessant bonging was made standard!

Thanks MJ, one for the 2019 list it is then!
