Depends who you ask and how paranoid you are about it snapping.

 

Paranoid: 60k / 4 years (whichever comes first)

Normal: 80k / 5 years (whichever comes first)

 

I go with the latter. Consider getting the water pump and aux belt replaced at the same time too. The aux belt is only about £10-15 and easily DIYable though.
