Afaik it is 4 years regardless of mileage. Get it done but call Vw customer service to confirm the mileage, I got conflicting info, some say 40, 60 or 100k. Do not go by that book.

Mine has done 64k..at 60k had the cambelt,tensioner and water pump done at Stafford Audi for £329 all in.....If you buy the ED30 best get the cambelt done as a precaution.....if you don't and it snaps you will be paying a lot more than £300 to put it right.

Mileage wouldn't bother me , seen a few ed30's and golfs with way over 100k and still feel good/tight when driven.  :smiley:
Make sure it's had the DSG oil change which was due at 40k
Personally I would change the belt at 60k or 4 years for peace of mind  :happy2:
Think it would be a hard one getting vw to cough up if your tb snapped under 120k as in their service checks from 40k up it states to check the condition/signs of wear of the toothed belt.
