I've not known a valve lifter to fail on these completely especially with such low mileage.

You'll need to confirm your suspicions before deciding your next move. It may not be a lifter and of course it maybe something worse than that. Your first move might be timing belt cover off and check the belt and tensioner mount, if that's all ok then check the timing is still correct.

If all that looks good then it will be time to remove the valve covers and check the cam chains. Not a small job, but you might be lucky! yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

May as well do all lifters and chain/tensioners at the same time.
