Is a Mondeo diesel belt or chain driven?

I am looking at buying an 08 Ford Mondeo Zetec TDCI.

Would this be a cam belt or chain? And it has full service history, would the up keep of the cam/chain have been included in this?

Belt. The Mk III Mondeo and Jaguar X Type 2.0 and 2.2s were chain.

Is it usual for a belt tensioner to go off centre and shred the belt? This was the case with our Peugeot 3008 at 28,000 miles.
