When should I change the timing belt on my van?

When should I change the timing belt on my 2016 Mercedes Citan van?

Mercedes-Benz uses a toothed cambelt on the Citan with an official replacement interval of 150,000 miles or 10 years, whichever is sooner. Changing it before then is good practice as it will help prevent failure.

Is it usual for a belt tensioner to go off centre and shred the belt? This was the case with our Peugeot 3008 at 28,000 miles.
