Usually 5 years or 60k. But early doesn't hurt. Stick one on and you have 5 years peace of mind. They do occasionally fail early.

Alfa romeo 147 and 156 need em doing at 36k but i guess your van isn't one of those.

what sort of cost do you think?

[rg1]

A cam belt can deteriorate with age, so a vehicle that covers less mileage annually may still need a change even though it's only done 49k

[Wc Solutions]

sorry i should of said its a 57 plate, did a fair few at first but now it will be used by one of my part timers - so prob around 5 - 6k miles a year. just local area aswell

[paulben]

Had  one put on Hi-Ace a few months back cost £180 including tensioner pulley. far cheaper than another engine.

[Count Phil]

My hiace cam cost just under 200. but many engines you looking at 400. A cambelt service is the biggy. With the service 500 plus should be expected. Unless you get a hiace.

depends what van it is, my transit connect is 10 years or 150,000 miles, worth ringing your local dealer and ask them when its due

[david watts]

doblo was 50k but if it fails might as well scrap it

Perhaps you should look in the service book.  Otherwise, you'll be basing your decsion on the guesses of window cleaners..

What van is it?

[Richard Neal]

shouldve had mine done 1 mile before it snapped! end of transit hello sprinter (chain ).
Now whenever i change a vehicle i try to allow for a belt change as part of my budget

[dazmond]

i always get the cambelt changed on all vans/cars that i buy within the first month or so.mind you i only ever buy 10 year old vans/cars and they usually last me 4 or 5 years with the odd job needing doing to keep them on the road!!
