How do I know if the chain is ok?

Hi

I've been looking at an x reg 2.2 sri astra but have been reading about the problems on engines earlier than 52 plate with lubrication and tensioner issues causing the chain to snap... is that correct??

If so.... how do I tell if the work has been done or not? The car has only done 45k and the seller doesn't know if any work has been done or not

Any advice would be appreciated... my head hurts from reading all about this and I don't understand!!

The only definative answer is to take the covers off and check i'm afraid,/

Forgot to say... I got the engine number to check that but it start TAO instead of Z22SE so that didn't help either!
