There is no such thing as 'checking a timing belt and it passed.'
A perfectly good appearing belt can shear or fail the next time you run the car...the only thing that means anything is time in service. OK, number of starts might play a part if you only run a mile down to the train station, but you get the idea.

You can pop the top timing cover and put the engine at TDC on compression #1 cylinder and check the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket.
