Mine is a March 05 model, with 19k on the clock, and I intend to get it replaced next year.
I have read loads of threads on here of belts going, but they seem to be a couple of years older than ours and in the 40 to 50k mile bracket!
If in doubt, I would suggest getting it done!
Hope this helps!
I do agree, it does concern me though!
