When should the cam belt be changed on a 2.2-litre Vauxhall Omega diesel?

I'm considering buying a 52-plate diesel Vauxhall Omega Estate and wanted to know the mileage frequency of cam belt changes on this model.

I thought this was a chain cam engine, and there was an issue over oil supply to the tensioner.
