if your unsure of condtiion... replace it....

otherwise pull the valve cover and timing belt cover and look at the belts teeth if the inside tooth looks like it has any smooth spots in it then replace it ASAP or if ya have any frayed spots or crackily looking replace it ASAP!
if in doubt just replace it!
