I sold my 9000 but had various belt changes and only two due to failure on 2 different cars over 12 years. I would study the belt closely to see what caused it. Moving parts have a finite life.
I always carried a spare belt with my 9000. I would check idler pulleys. They should not spin freely if the bearings are good.
I think the tensioner should be replaced every 3-4 years anyway. It is like $80 or so and doesn't take too long to do. Belt should be changed on same interval and probably idlers as well. Things wear...
