Mileage & cam belt question/advice?
Hi can anyone please advise, me?
I have just brought my very first new shape scooby. Its a 2001 Y reg wrx u.k. version. Its in good condition with only 3 owners. Its got almost full service history and had the cam belt changed at 60k miles.
The only thing is its covered 116k miles! Do I need to be worried about the high mileage. How are the engines for high mileage? What sort of problems may I be facing? When should I be looking to have the cam belt changed again?
The car is completely standard and hasn't been messed about with, it seems to run fine, im just getting well paranoid about the high mileage? A few people have told me the engines are bullet proof, especially the newer models, but I always see rebuilds everywhere. So what sort of mileage do they run to?
Sorry for going on, but I do hope you guys can help me and put my mind at rest!
Cheers.

would'nt worry about the mileage as long as the service history says its been looked after but as for the cam belt change it ASAP 56k on a belt is way to long
