Exact same happened to me when i bought my corsa 1.4 sport, as part of the deal of me buying it, the seller was to have the cambelt changed.

The tensioner bolt had slipped loose on the way home, luckily i got away with no damage

What do you expect the seller to do? 6,000 miles is quite a lot. Pretty sure I wouldnt look like new after doing 6,000 miles rotating at several thousand rpm.
