200 thousand id be thinkn bout changin the timing belt on it, a good guide is to change it every 100 thousand although sum require it to be done more frequent then that.

Sierra timing belts to be changed normally every 80,000km.
If owned by mechanic I'd guess he's done it at the 80,000km and 160,000km mark. Nevertheless, if the previous owner hasn't give you a logbook or indication of the service history, changing the belt now will be a good idea.
