That recent belt looks like the accessory belt while the timing belt was changed 14 years ago at 62k so you need to change it ASAP.

I doubt that recent sticker is for the accessory belt. The images depiction looks like an i4's timing belt. With all those stickers I would personally put an eye on the belt. You can get a good idea of it's age that way.

I agree. The second sticker clearly shows a toothed belt. And the last sticker seems to be a T-belt as well: 2 cam pulley and one crank pulley, also google for SKF VKMA and see what comes up ... timing belt kits.

I think you've got 20k miles on your T-belt and do not need to worry.

So this belt was changed at 62k then 54k later changed again and lastly 60k later changed yet again? And all within a span of 11 years. I'm not doubting it but when the service interval calls for every 90k or 8 years that seems a bit wasteful unless there was some other reason to keep opening up the engine and the belt got changed just because they were there.
