every 30k i think. mines just hit 30k so i changed it.no harm in doing it now to be safe.belts are cheap,but a slight pain in the balls to change (ecotec)
yeah i also put new tensioner and rollers in ££££££,but peace of mind, (the old ones seemed fine)

I had a belt break at less than 30k, if you have done 49k I would seriously advise you to get it done.
