This model uses a timing belt, which is a scheduled replacement item. Budget for the belt kit with a water pump when it falls due (typically every 5-10 years or 60,000-100,000 miles depending on engine). It is the single biggest routine bill on the car, so a quote in the range above is normal, not a rip-off.
Prices vary between the petrol and diesel versions, diesels carry glow plugs, a DPF and usually cost slightly more on servicing, petrols have spark plugs on a fixed schedule. The ranges above span both.
