Timing Belt Life

2001 - 175,000 miles - original timing belt and water pump. Record?

1999...original timing belt........but only 33k miles.

The thing is.... whats more important..age or miles?

I carry a spare with me on long trips just in case...
...but have been wondering if shear age warrants
doing it anyway.

It is a combination. I did mine at 75,000 but at 10 years. I had read somewhere that that was the life span on the belts even if they did not have the miles. Not sure where I read it though.
