You are correct, under normal circumstanaces the service interval for cam belts (OEM) would be 72k. However, it is recommended to change at or before 5 years anyway as minimal use of vehicle can cause belts to crack as they can go brittle with lack of use. The potential damage, cost and inconvenience caused by not changing/ taking a flyer far outweighs the peace of mind from knowing you have a reliable wagon........especially in foreign climes !!!
