Hi Michael,
You've not mentioned whether you have the Superb or the Octavia, but either way our data suggests that the recommended service interval for the 1.6 TDI timing belt is 140,000 miles (225,000 kilometres) or every four years.
We'd suggest erring on the side of caution with timing belts always, especially on a car that you've not owned yourself from new.
