At 3,000 miles the belts will be fine. Ok so they are ovet due on time but they are so far short on miles there isn't any rush to get them done. The timing belt system is nice and strong so should last 10 years without a problem if the milage is low. I've changed lots of KV6 belts with 60- 70, 000 miles and knocking on 10 years, none of which look in a bad way at all. I recon Mgr were playing it safe or trying to drum up future work for the dealers by setting a 6 year interval.
