Ford Focus EcoBoost - when should I change the cam belt?

When would you advise changing the cam belt on my 2016 Ford Focus 1.0-litre EcoBoost?

Answered by Dan Powell
The three-cylinder 1.0 EcoBoost engine uses a 'wet belt' system that runs the cam belt in oil to prolong its life up to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first).
