Plain and simple really, the alternator belt doesnt require changing until 150000 miles/10years, and yours aint either of them :D , and pulleys arent a service item (according to the checksheets :wink: ) so its not really an issue!
You could ask the dealer to see if they can get a copy of the service history for you (you never know, they might be helpful :lol: )

Heres a copy of the extended period maintenece operation, just to see what extras are on top of the service checks
