Just unscrew the top plastic timing cover easily (I think there screws) and look at the belt. If you see cracking on the surface and a brownish color, aging rubber, look closely, then it is original. At that mileage it would definately be obvious.

Good thing is that the belt is real cheap, easy to replace for the home mechanic, and the engine (likely B230) is non-interferance so no head damage if it breaks.

Bad thing is if it snaps he will be strande4d, need to pay towing, and get the job done anyway.

Pop off the cover and take a peak.
