So a 54 plate, with 35,000 you could say is way overdue to its age?

Are Subaru engines non-interference (valves to piston)?
I looked on a website for a list of interference engines and Subaru were not listed.
Just wondering what happens if the belt actually breaks.

A nasty mess, unless you're very lucky. Chances are that pistons will meet valves.
