They used to recommend replacing the timing belt at 75,000 miles and they typically broke at 65,000 miles leading to an expensive valve job. If that belt hasn't been replaced already, it's on borrowed time.

Depending on the condition of vehicle, anything can fail anytime so there are no mights. Get a run through of the overall conditions of mechanical components and as Caradiodoc mentioned, the timing belts, that can cause major damages to the engine and your pocket if it fails.
