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.
As a diesel, watch the DPF if you mostly do short town trips, regular longer runs keep it clear and avoid a £250-500 clean. Glow plugs are the usual cold-start culprit and are priced in the table.
