Hi Tyson,

There's no limit on how long a car will last if it's regularly serviced and looked after. Obviously, the older it is, the more likely you'll have to pay for larger repairs.

The timing belt change interval varies between engine. The 1.6 diesel's belt must be changed every 200,000km or 10 years (whichever comes first), while the 1.6 petrol engines' belts have to be changed more often - every 160,000km or eight years.
