Assuming a minimum of 12,000 miles a year, that 960 has had at least 60,000 miles with no belt change under the previous owner. No telling how many miles before that. If the belt breaks, the valves and pistons hit and at least the head is severely damaged. Some have reported the loss of the whole engine. You need to gat that belt replaced and perhaps the tensioner and idler as well. See this page in the 700/900 FAQ.
