Do I need to change my Fiesta's belt?

Hi Just wondering if I need change the timing Belt for my Ford Fiesta 2010 model, which mileage is 56000KM. Do I have to do it with Ford dealer or any independent garage is ok to do the same job?

Our answer:

Hi James,

You've not told us which engine it has, so, assuming it has the popular 1.25-litre petrol unit, its belt should be changed every 160,000km or eight years, whichever comes first. 

Any good mechanic will be able to do the work for you.
