Just checked my paperwork and my car had cambelt kit fitted April 2016,cost £209.00 which includes vat.
Car is a Vauxhall Astra SXI Twinport.
Car was not mine at the time,belonged to my son who " donated " to his dad when he purchased a new car.0 -

I'm not being anything of the sort ... you're being deliberately obtuse by not accepting that manufacturers won't necessarily (and probably don't) do what you do!
