330d LCI; is it worth changing the thermostat with these temps?

The car is a 2009 330d with the N57 engine on 58k.



It's developed a glow plug issue recently so I've booked in to have the glow plugs and controller changed as well as a service and software update.



I was thinking of having the thermostat changed as preventative maintenance however the Indy has quoted £180 labour and having read the guide this seems steep.



I read the temperatures this morning from the hidden menu after a 7 mile drive to Leeds.



After 3 miles of motorway I was at 88 degrees; I was then in stop start traffic for 4 miles. The temperatures varied between 89 and 95 and peaked at 97 as I pulled into the multi storey.



I already have the thermostat but looking at these figures; it doesn't appear to be worth changing at this stage.



Thoughts?
