My partners 207 has done 50k and the recommended belt change is not until 80k.
Can this be right as the car is now seven years old ?

An 8FS is a 16valve chain cam engine.Same as what is used in some Mini models.So no cam belt.Just make sure you do regular oil changes with the correct spec oil.

May sound a silly question but I'm a new driver, so I'm going to ask lol. Where do I find the VIN number so I can check if I need to change my cam belt.

Its normally vissible at the bottom edge of the screen but its also on your V5C registration document.
