In normal use it can last the whole engine life. It is closely watched by electronics (camshaft and crankshaft position sensors). So they will trigger synchronization faults, or there will be a distinctive engine noise if chain is stretched. If no symptoms are present, reasonable mileage for replacement would be 300-400 thousand kilometers.

Do you need a timing belt or a chain?
If the car has a star somewhere, it should be a Mercedes and it would have a chain instead of a belt (I’m not sure actually if a timing belt had been used on some engines but I’m not aware of any, this one would have a chain anyway).
