Can you please tell me if my car has a chain belt and if not when it needs to be changed.

I'm afraid that one is belt. Engine shared with Peugeots and Citroens. If it's a 2009, the belt is 6 years old and despite the low mileage I'd change it, tensioner and waterpump. The previopus Mk III Mondeo range was all chain: 1.8 and 2.0 petrol; 2.0 and 2.2 diesel. Diesel engines shared with the Jaguar X-Type.
