Timing belt or chain mazda 3 2.0 sport

[mdmx33]

Hello guys,

I'm looking at buying a 56 plate Mazda 3, its the 2.0 sport version. Only sticking point. I've had a car in the past which didn't have the cambelt changed and got stung with the cost. Does this car have a belt or a chain? Any advice welcome guys thanks.

What does 56 plate mean?

What year Mazda 3 are you referring to?

So far from 2004-2016, the Mazda motors are all timing CHAINS.
