Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.

I was in a similar situation on my LS430. I saw the sticker under the hood that was done 130k miles prior to the current mileage. The belt was perfectly fine and had most likely been replaced since. If it’s a genuine Aisin/Toyota belt it’s probably still good. I’ve seen these go far and beyond 10yr/100k mile mark
Pros: perfectly fine, long lasting
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 209214 km
the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.
Pros: 200k miles durability
Mileage: 200000 km

Pros: ran 280000 miles, still running fine
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 450615 km
I have a 2001 Lexus LS 430. It had about 215,000 when I got the timing belt replace. It was the original and was starting to crack. If my 21 year old belt made it to 215k and didn’t break yet. Thats when I saw mine was old and cracked.
Pros: very long lasting, 21 years
Cons: starting to crack, old
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 346008 km
Mine has been unreliable. The timing belt blew, both lower control arms and shocks needed to be replaced, and also both wheel bearings. Just my experience, I got mine at 130k and I'm at 155k now. Im getting rid of it. \n\n\nSo if anyone wants a c30 with a ton of work done feel free to message me lol. Its perfectly good now, fun to drive and I bet thats about everything that needed to be replaced.
Pros: fun to drive
Cons: timing belt blew
Vehicle:
Volvo C30
Mileage: 155000 km
I have a 2007 S60 and the timing belt was replaced by a non-specialist soon after I purchased it. The tension on the belt has to be just right, and the non-specialist mechanic way over-torqued it. Had I not noticed the issue and taken the car to a specialist, it could have pulled the engine apart.
Cons: over-torqued, engine damage risk
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
