Chain..
Between the cylinders I believe
I have heard nothing about chain life.
But age shouldnt dictate issues.. just miles covered

It's a chain and it's at the front of the engine (other end from the gearbox)
1.2 four cylinder petrol's are belt driven, same end.

Oil quality is often a factor in chain wear.
Not only for lubrication.. but supplying the damping effort for the tensioner.
These motors have been around for a while
But I dont recall reading of any issues with chains.
Wheras the diesels have plenty of trouble.. saving grace is damage upon failure can be relatively limited through good design
