Timing Belt Issues and Recalls

I have a 3008 GT LIne 1.2 auto first registered April 2017. Just had its 7 year service (27400 miles) at my usual Peugeot main dealer. When I asked why the cam belt wasn't changed, I was told mine wasn't due until 10 years or 112000 miles! They even gave me the up to date service schedule for my car. When I said I thought the current recommendation was now 6000 miles, I was told that didn't apply to my car! I've had the belt checked and measured and been told it is ok. I regularly visually check it as I'm getting paranoid on the subject, especially after reading the posts on this forum. Has anyone got any idea why I'm being advised not to change it until 10k miles? Incidentally the belt is the textured not smooth appearance, which I think is the version 2. I really like the car and have thought about changing it for a more recent one, but unless it has a chain driven cam gear, I don't think I would be totally free of cam belt worries. Any help/observations on this would be much appreciated.
