Age Of Timing Belt

My timing belt was changed about 4000 miles ago @ approx 40000 miles with the required2500 mile tension adjustment, but it was done 12 years ago. Should it be changed?

RE: Age Of Timing Belt

12 YEARS AGO! Oh dear god do not start the car again until you get it changed. I wouldn't go over 5 years on a belt, no matter the mileage. Dry rot is a killer. In fact, I have pulled a belt off a car that was 5 years old and had 500 miles on it, and it was not good. Dodged a bullet.
