The main issue I should think is not the age or mileage but the fact that at that age of vehicle you are in prime camshaft old seal failure, risk of contamination etc.
I would get a trusted indipendant to do it that way you ensure you have a nice fresh belt in a clean housing. If it were me I would actually do it myself. Probably easy.
