The belt snapped at about 70000km, maintenance says to change at 150000km, so def too early.
The car is a 2011 and that year had a bad cover for the cambelt as it didn't cover the whole thing, the bottom was left exposed. The snap happened on a motorway I think, so could've been something hitting it.
As long as it doesn't affect the integrity of an engine, I guess it's good from a maintenance point of view like you say. It's certainly nice to know it's recently changed as it's a £1500 fix (at a VW dealer)
