I would be worried about the cambelt 
4 year changes and they do go because its age not mileage that kills them (rubber deteriorates with age and pollution)

You can't really "look after" a cambelt as such!
The fact that nothing has gone wrong is probably testament to the cars very low mileage for the age. It's too early in some ways to make judgments about its durability. when a standard car does 100k without any major complaints then you can give it a blooming good pat on the back IMHO
Oil changes and cambelt should always be done, though.

As said above is it worth the risk/Gamble ?

You can actually look after you cambelt by using belt dressing spray, it helps stop them perishing and cracking, I use it on AC, AHU`s etc it does help the belts last longer, I actually thought it was the tensioner that fail as opposed to the belts but I may be wrong,
As said above is it worth the risk/Gamble ?

You learn something new everyday!
I wonder how many people know that though! Agreed, it's not worth the risk! Couple of hundred quid for a cambelt change vs circa 2k for a rebuild!
