First thing take the trim off by the handle see if its not broken on the lever,most likely its by the lock itself,probably the easiest solution it to remove the vw badge then cut away the plastic cover to reach the lock and cable,its really a nightmare.

Have you tried getting someone to press down on the front of the bonnet while trying the release lever, unusual for a cable to snap on a newish (in my book) car

Go for Rob69's comment, that's what I would try first

Thanks for all the comments have tried pushing bonnet down whilst trying to pull lever but no joy also checked cable by taking handle off which seems ok, will try taking badge off tomorrow and see if I can see anything

Try putting a set of mole grips on to the cable behind the handle inside the car and pulling the cable.

You'll have to cut away the plastic cover,bit drastic but thats the easiest way or you can remove the under tray and try and reach up to where its joined above the alternator(if you can !!)told you its a **** of a job.

While you're in there check the operation of the safety catch,it has a tendency to stick in the open position,if the main catch fails you'll get a face full of bonnet.
