    If the timing belt went that soon after replacement then it's likely that the shop did not replace the tensioner. I've reused tensioners in the past but against my better judgement (but lucked out anyway).

    I'd contact the previous owner & find out the whole story behind the timing belt replacement.

    Also find out if the water pump was replaced when the timing belt was. You should always replace the water pump at the same time.
