While mileage is quite important time is a factor as well. Over time rubber can brake down and the motor that you have is called an interference engine. This means that if your timing belt brakes then your valves and pistons are on a collision course. This means at the very least new head, or at least a valve job, but usually it you'll end up replacing the motor. Also if the timing belt drives the water pump have it replaced at the same time.
