my timing belt

Hello, new to this forum...I've got a 2003 Honda Civic EX coupe with 119K miles on it....super clean and great car. The timing belt and drive belt were changed by the previous owner at 60K miles...do I need to be concerned that it's gonna need it changed again?? if so..when?

Re: my timing belt

Depends on the year it was last done.

Honda recommends 110k miles or 7 years - whichever comes first.

after it was changed, obviously, not the current mileage.
60k + 110k miles or 7 years (years is mostly dependent on rubber cracking over years)

Understandable. If it's been 7 years, time to do it. As far as mileage goes, you comfortably have 30k miles before replacement.
