I would say yes, service book says so and the specialist that service's my car also say its to be done. Its not like you haven't done any miles either, i'm no expert but i don't know why their telling you they don't need changing. I mean you could get away with not changing your oil but would you want to.

FOOKING HELL!!! 25k but 3 years old 
I would tell them unless they change the plugs you will never use them again! IMHO and tell them to lay off the crack!
I change my plugs every 6 months and service the car. Ok I do it my self but still costs about a £100 each time.

plus fluids, gearbox, diff, antifreeze, brake fluid should be 40k but its up to you, some dot 5.1 ever goes a miss
P.S Only use the dealer if the price is right don't pay over £350-£375 inc all parts labour thats the going rate

Its very worrying that some dealers/specialist are servicing these cars not as the manufacturers specifications. Just think when your buying a second hand scoob you look in the service book and its all stamped up great!!!! or is it !!!!
If there not doing the plugs when recommended what else are they not doing
