You will find conflicting information, because there are lots of different intervals, dependant on the exact engine code & rp number, ie exact build date.
If you publish your reg number or vin, we can give you a fairly accurate idea.

According to my Haynes pro garage software, your van is the early RP number , your van was built 31/5/2012 7 it changed 31/6 2012, so must be the early one.
The interval is 150,000 miles or 120 months.
Having said that, I would always do it a little early, as it’s such a relatively simple job compared to the absolute disaster that occurs if it breaks.

I changed our 2015 1.6HDI dispatch belt and water pump a few months ago and the mileage was 140K, the old belt still looked like new, its possible it was changed previously but it wasn't stamped in the service book.

I agree, I changed my 2008 1.6 HDI at 11 years & 98,000 mile and the condition of the belt was very good.

I booked Citroën service for 50000km. Its a 1.6 66kw engine from year 2015 (built July 2014) with AUT gearbox. Type 7B9HF8/1PS.
The service guy phoned today and said the intervall for timing belt is 5 years and the price is 1000 euro incl water pump and standard oil service. I had car for one year. When I bought it I asked and it was 10 years intervall. Is service guy correct?
