It will have a duratec HE engine I think which has a timing/cam chain - not belt.
Ford advise you get it checked at 100k but they are pretty tough but can get rattles etc when older

My book says 80,000 or 5yrs get it done if it breaks it willl cause a lot of damage.
It's a belt they did away with chains in the in the Flintstone vehicle erra.
