Default Timing belt change before 100K km?

Never replace the timing belt on my 2002 SE bought new from dealer with 40K km on it so far. Always winter stored and only 3 to 4 month of driving every year.

The maintenance schedule calls for replacement every 100K km.

Should the timing belt be changed anyway given it's age of 14 years or I can wait till 100K km?

Appreciate deeply for the advice.

Did my Timing belt, idler, tensioner, water pump, thermostat and valve cover gasket last week on my 2000 NB. Miles were 62,000. The water pump gasket was failing and leaking. Took a couple of hours.
