When does the i40 belt need to be changed?

Hi I'm thinking about buying a 2011 Hyundai i40 petrol wagon and it's done 74000km and I would like to know when it needs a new timing belt because they can be expensive.

Our answer:

Hi Hazel,

Worry not, as all petrol versions of the i40 used timing chains, not belts. The chains are designed for the life of the engine.
