The 16v is chain driven and has no real specified change point but make sure when you start the car that there is no excessive rattle from the chain.
In reality in my experience at around 70 to 80k in a lot of these engines if the oil changes have been neglected a bit they can rattle a bit.
If the noise is quite loud on start up then consider getting this attended to by way of a new chain and tensioners and of course a fresh oil and filter change !
