I'd be looking at changing it as relatively cheap insurance in your case. Although you are no where near close to your mileage it has been 7 years and the belts tend to become brittle with age. Still think you may have a year or a few in it if you want to take the risk? I'd do it just to get the water pump replaced while you're at it - I'd say that would be more in need of replacing rather than the belt.
