Timing belt wear is more of a time-wear item than mileage. 105k/7 yrs is the reccommended interval. You're nearing 7 years, so I'd say get it done soon.

Better safe than sorry. Timing belt damage = $$$

From the pamphlet I picked up at the dealership it suggests:

100 000 km if vehicle is regularly driven in a very low temperature (under -29 C)

168 000 km replace timing belt
