Should I change my Focus's belt?

2007 Ford Focus 1.6 Diesel 154,000km roughly on clock mechanic said I am ok till about 160,000 roughly to get timing belt done

Our answer:

Hi Lorraine,

If it has never been changed before, then you really should have it changed right away. The recommended interval is 200,000km or 10 years, whichever comes first.
