I read that the cambelt had been done in 2020 when it had about 97k on the clock. According to my research it should be changed every 10 years or 72k, so looks like that should be alright for a while.

What's the life on the DMFs and the Nivomats like?

Hi Sam, I think the cambelt is 10 years or 100K - whichever comes soonest, but the Aux belt and the aircon belts need doing every 5 years or 55k miles I think. I'd double check both belt changes (and aux belt tensioner) - as if they go kaput - you risk the whole engine going kaput...which isn't ideal
