If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Provided you keep to regular oil changes with a quality oil, the chain will last the engine out.
(Pity the same can't be said for Vauxhall, my Corsa needs a new chain and tensioner after 30,000 miles :dry: )
BTW> don't "upgrade" to a Grand Vitara with the V6 engine: these eat chains and tensioners :ohmy:

There is a shoe/plate that is pivoted at the top of the engine, and a tensioner (behind the waterpump) that pushes the other end of the plate towards the crank, and takes up any slack.
Suzuki are fairly good at this, I would stick to Golden Rules #1 and #2
#1 If it ain't broke: don't fix it.
#2 DON'T MESS.
