I wouldn't chance it, it's miles or time, whichever comes first, not
last.

Do a new water pump this time, too.  You were lucky, your old one held
up the entire double belt interval.  Don't push your luck this time.
the WP is only replaced because it is so much work to get in there and
it's easy at that point.  But this is done because they do go bad
eventually.
