if ya dont know when it was changed CHANGE it, mine was changed during its re-built, when it went wrong after a couple of miles we had to remove the belt again and didnt re-use it we are using another.
50% of the time it aint the belt that snaps, its the idler pulleys that shatter, this causes the belt to go slack, come off and do the same amount of damage as a snapped belt.
The pulleys are nylon they get hot then cool down hot then cool down, it makes them brittle, i would change these too if ya can afford it do what i have just done get some metal ones off SBD for £110 delivered, they will never break.
Vauxhall quoted me £200 for a cam belt change and to have the tensioner and idler pulley changed for standard items
