I take it that you're not the original owner.

If a local dealer can't find the records, I would surely replace it to be safe rather than sorry -- the engine is an interference type, which means BIG bucks if it goes! And also, replace the tensioner as well (don't skimp on pennies), as I've heard it's an unreliable part and apt to cause an otherwise still good belt to fail.

Good luck.
