If replacing the tensioner is an important part of the first timing belt change, I'd have to believe that if the car was properly maintained, they were both replaced. If it wasn't maintained, then neither has been touched.

The mechanic didn't say anything about the tensioner. Would there be any tell tail signs of a tensioner that had gone 116K versus 10K?
