Mileage would be considered low

100000km over 12 years is 8300km per year or only around 5000 miles.

Having the timing belt changed after a number of miles/years is very important so that is a good thing.

Saying a timing belt was changed at 75k km is all good and well but when was that done? On a low mileage car that has only covered 100k km in 12 years then a time interval comes into play as well as mileage when talking about a timing belt change.

What car is it btw?
