Pros: good luck
Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.
Pros: plenty of life left

I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.
Pros: no belt failure
Vehicle:
Toyota
crack is already visible in the first picture.. Heard it's best replace every 60K KM.. Also, there's a belt made by contitech that design specifically for peugeot/citron to withstand oil, and like what others have mention. Use the right and good quality oil.
Pros: good quality oil
Cons: crack is visible
Mileage: 60000 km
About 67k on the clock, 17 plate. Engine blew on a dual carriageway. Took it to a proper, full-fat Ford Dealer and Repairer to have a look and turns out, bad belt. They tried to replace the engine but they couldn't work out how to fit it, nor code it correctly. Ridiculous. Always had Fords, but this entire experience put us off them completely.
Cons: engine blew, bad belt
Vehicle:
Ford Transit
Mileage: 67000 km
I have a lease 2020 transit, put it in for a new timing belt at 96k miles, drove a further 500miles after belt change and engine blew, found fault to be a bolt snapped on belt pulley, engine now scrap!\nThis van has full ford service history at every interval, and top-up oil was correct Castrol grade used everytime, garage told me they have three other vans in with same fault!
Cons: engine blew, bolt snapped
