How do I know if the timing belt has been replaced in a 2003 audi A4 without having the service records?

There's currently 130,000 kms (or 81,000 miles) on the odometer. I'm scared to buy it and have the belt go while I'm driving. Is there a way to tell if it's already been replaced?

Looked after, the car should last for years and Audis are a pleasure to drive (when BMs are sliding all over the road in winter). I had my pulley slip (broken shaft key) result: cam shaft broken in 4 - bent valves - head scrap - crankshaft scrap. I had a spare head and crankshaft - changed rings - bearings - seals %26amp; gaskets. With ~ 120kK kms there was no wear in the bores.
