Seems pretty normal, mine was about the same quantity and consistency after 84,000 miles.
Disgusting EGR valve - job done!
Decided at 4 oçlock (one it had stopped raining) to clean out the EGR and intake Manifold!! I was just going to do the MAF and then EGR but I saw the state of it:

94,000 miles of crud!
Absolutely rank! Put it back together and took it for a short spin and the hesitation/judder at 1800rpm was gone, but I will wait till tomorrow once the placebo affect has worn off (it felt quicker!) and when I have also done the MAF - which was supposed to be this afternoon's job!
edit: forgot to mention - the crud was a bit wet, almost oily and the left hand side intake port had collected most of this - should I be worried? Oil from turbo seals that are on the way out??

Its normal, infact yours looks quite clean, compared to some 
Well that's ok then! Was a little concerned! It still amazes me that this needs to be done - has the design on the mkIV been improved?
Spotless?! Did you check that the valve actually worked
Haven't a clue about the TDDI, did you check the wikki?
