Long since fixed! If you bought an older model it would be prudent to get it changed but as the OP is looking at a 2010 model, its fine.

Like many modern engines, the water pump is driven by the cam-belt and any good mechanic would recommend a water pump change at cam-belt renewal time in order to avoid future problems. Cam belt driven water pumps are expensive to change due to the labour involved, so preventive maintenance like that is sensible.
