From what I have heard from guys in the trade, cambelts rarely fail unless contaminated with oil or something, its usually the waterpump or occasionally the tensioners. We once had a Clio with a new cambelt fitted at time of purchase but 12k miles on the waterpump threw a wobbly and threw the belt. Now I always insist on a waterpump with a belt change. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Make sure you always replace the belt guards too, they arent there just to stop you getting tangled up in it but to protect the belt as well as any nicks in the edge could seriously reduce its life too.
