Dnt risk it belt manufactures usually say to change every 5 years and you do the pulleys while you in there as well. I have noticed cars with belly pans tend to have the belt last longer up to about 7 years, that's the longest I have seen a belt on a car, unfortunately chains are unreliable and its down to a throw of the dice if you get over 100kmiles or it stretches before your reach 100k miles.I'm not sure turning up at fiat saying your belt broke at just over 14 years would carry much weight.
I've read 60k miles or 5 years is a more realistic guide. We done ours at 6 and half years and 40k miles. The belt seemed fine to be honest.
