Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Honda Accord 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 142k miles

my son bought a '99 honda accord with 129,000 miles in 2008. He has had multiple issues and the mechanic says the timing belt probably needs to be changed.

My question is how can we tell if the timing belt had been changed b4 my son bought the car.

without receipt or paperwork stating so it would be hard to tell if timing belt was previously replaced.
