VW 2 TDi passat esate - VW 2 TDi 2013 water pump issue - 5cylinderdiesel

Hi

I noticed in the reviews section that there has been a few complaints from India about 2013 2 TDi passat water pumps failing. I bought a 2 TDi 2013 passat this weekend and have learned today that the cambelt + water pump + pulley + 2 camshafts has been replaced just a month ago at 130 000 miles. This is after the cambelt + water pump was already done at 114 000 miles. Why is this? Why replace the camshafts + pulley? Is it fixed now ro should I panic?

if anybody has knowledge of this issue I would be greatful

Thanks
