How does this prove they didn't change them? Why is it not possible that the plugs could look like this after 5k miles? 
I'll bite... apart from the fact I had the same issue with a polo before (major service, checked plugs 2 weeks later) everything else on the engine is impeccable, even the rev B DV valve I changed last weekend was fine. 2-3mm of carbon around the plug end in 5k, really?!?! From what I've read dealer estimates for life of a plug range from 40-60k, how many average Joes' are gonna bother checking the spark plugs after a service? Easy way to skimp on £40~ for a dealer.
Why did you check the plugs ? If they were changed 5000 miles earlier and don't need doing until another 55000 miles ? Why did you check the Polos plugs too ? Seems quite an odd thing to do ? 
If you think that the Plugs were not replaced i would be straight down to the place that had done them and questioned them about it , rather than grizzling on here about it . If you think that a main dealer would charge for replacing the plugs and didn't you don't really know the motor trade well .
I am sure that the plugs could look like this after 5000 miles too
Watch BBC rouge traders and you will see that the biggest offender if this type of ripping off was main dealers.
