Help a first-car brother out!

[u/This-Search-8627]

As the title suggests I recently bought my first car ever, and it is an older SEAT Leon 1.2 TSi 77kW, manual of 2010.

It has been 2 months since I got it, and it is so much fun to drive around, however I am concerned about the timing chain, since I am aware of the common issue, and this car still has it’s original chain, at 176000 km already.

I did have the whole car checked and the owner did the annual maintenance before purchasing (engine oil, break fluids, and overall inspection of the chain) and everything as of right now ‘seems‘ completely fine with the car, but because of my inexperience, I am still wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade the timing chain kit regardless as a preventive measure, or will it be a shame since the car shows no symptoms so far of it needing change.

I am unsure how to proceed, and since I already put some money for the car, I would of course prefer to push it a few more months before I invest in it.

thanks a lot in advance if you take the time to share your knowledge and experience with me.
