A TB20 is not to be maintained according to Part-M. It is a Part-ML aircraft.
For completeness the exception to this rule would be if the aircraft is utilized in an AOC (which would be very unusual).
What does that mean relative to the Socata MM schedule?
The maintenance overview contains 50hr, 100hr, 400hr, 500hr and 1000hr inspections.
Does anyone know if there are any 2000hr or 6000hr inspections mandatory in EASA?
Apart from
Wing (14600 hours)
Engine Mount (10000 hours)
Nose Gear (10000 hours)
and referring to Engine/Prop service letters
there are no airworthiness limitations for the TB20.
The DAH AMM lists 25/50/100/2000hr inspections with some items in between eg at 500hrs (obviously all of those are not mandatory).

That apart from ADs and airworthiness limitations it is entirely voluntary.

Just to clarify, you can’t go below what the MIP says.

Yes.
Simplified summary:
A) Maintain 100% acc. DAH AMM (TB20 Maintenance Manual)
B) Maintain “based on” DAH AMM and deviate as desired (not below MIP limits)
C) Maintain “based on” MIP.
A or B or C require + AD + Airworth. Limitations.
