Subaru timing belts are very strong and resilient. They usually fail due to incorrect fitment, eg, the guides rubbing through the belt.
Or something else failing, like a siezed water pump or idler pulley.
I've seen belts last well beyond the interval.
The new service schedule says 125000 or 5 years, the belt is identical.
A very worn belt is more likely to lose teeth, then to actually snap.
To be honest, you have at least a year leeway before your really taking a risk.
