I'm sure i read somewhere that Ford guarantee the timing belts for 100,000 miles but 50k or 5 years is plenty.
If you've not had it changed already, do it soon.
How many miles would i be looking at before the timing belt needs changing on a ford focus 2003 ?
I think most cars require it be changed at 60,000 miles. Check your manual or talk with the dealer.

Look in the owners manual under scheduled maintenance around 50 -80,000 miles should be there, rule of thumb is 75K on Fords.. If you need one go to Ford.com and you can download one there..
Autodata 2008 - 10yrs or 100k miles across the petrol range
Which engine?
Rover suggest 48,000 for the 200 series, whereas Vauxhall stipulate 96,000 for the Corsa B. With your car i would say 8 years or 100,000 miles is reasonable. Check with a Haynes manual at Halfords.
Change it if you're that worried.
My advice is, if you think it needs changing, change it!!
Ford say there timing belts can run for up to 100k miles but this is in ideal conditions.
Typically you would look to change them at 50 to 60k miles.
Ja.
100,000 or 10 years and no evidence to support changing them early!
