serpentine belt pm

My 2001 986 is approaching 72k miles. I believe the 60k maintenance was skipped by the previous owner so I'm slowly catching things up via diy.

I bought a new goodyear gatorback belt and planning to change it today.

Removed the engine access panel and was very surprised at how clean everything is in there. The current belt looks great. No cracks, abrasions, glazing, etc.

My question is: Since the belt appears to be in such good shape and a belt failure is not catastrophic, do I do the preventative maintenance anyway? I'm thinking about buttoning it back up and taking another look next Spring.

Opinions please!

thanks
