Well I have a 53 plate 190 that when I bought it had no history of the belts being done although it only had 76K on the clock and the seller insisted was 'mint mate' I had them done by Trikey (including all the ancilliaries) as far as I'm concerned the longer you go past the recommended service intervals the bigger the risk you are taking, is amases me how many owners of v6 engined cars say 'oh I'll just drive it till the belts let go, I'm not paying for the belts to be done'
Down that route lies the accelerated extinction of the KV6 engine.
