Timing belts are usually replaced 60k->90k miles (96km -> 160km) or 6-7 years, whichever comes first. The range is dependent on weather condition. If you live in a place that freezes in winter and burning hot in summer, go for the lower end of the range. If you live in a nice, temperate location year round, you can opt for the latter end of the range.

Do it now... It's inexpensive and will save you a headache down the road if it decides to fail.
