It doesn't seem right to me because of the low mileage.
Any thoughts?
I obviously don't want an expensive bill in the future if it really needs changing....

Are you a gambling man ? The interval is 108,000 miles
OR 6 years. If you'd covered 108,000 miles in three years would you be asking if it was OK to leave it another 3 years ? It's whichever of the parameters expires first.
You could leave it and get another couple of years out of it no problem. On the other hand if it goes bang in say three months and lands you with a £6,000 bill for a new engine you might feel pretty sick.
