Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to check the wear of a vehicle's belts: in this case, it is an Alfa Romeo Mito, but the advice is general: do not stop at the mileage; you must also consider the time interval, which is equally important. Indeed, you may drive few miles, but time passes: check the condition of the auxiliary belt, which will also give you an indication about the state of the timing belt: if it is cracked and the internal grooves are broken, then it is definitely time to replace both, even if you have not reached the mileage specified by the manufacturer.
