Translation help - a car sticker

    If you can read Japanese, would you be so kind as to translate this sticker into English please?

    I have just bought the car and the details from this sticker might help verify the mileage on the odometer.

    Unfortunately I cannot post an URL or embed an image because I am classified as a "new user" on these forums - despite having an account here since 2006, oh well...

    Anyway, if you would like to help, could you please replace all "_" characters with "." and you will see the photo of the sticker:

    "タイミングベルトは１０万KM毎に交換することをお勧めします。
    実施日：H21年６月３０日
    走行距離：93906KM"

    We recommend the timing belt is changed every 100,000 kilometres.
    Carried out: 2010/June/30th
    Mileage: 93906 KM

    Thank you Tristram.

    So "21" stands for 2010? As you can guess I am 100% ignorant about the Japanese language.

    I wish I noticed the sticker before buying the car... My current odometer reading is 112350KM, so the odometer is very likely to have been manipulated by the seller.

    Oh well, at least I know I definitely need to replace that timing belt now.

    Yeah, calendar years over here are divided into periods/eras that match the lifespan of the emperors. The H stands for Heisei which began in 1989.

    Unfortunately I am completely ignorant of all things car-related. I'm not sure what a timing belt is/does. I hope you can resolve your car situation to your satisfaction.
