From a battery that’s 12.7 volts standing. I’d generally expect 12.5-13 volts no load out from the alternator….hence the question ref gadgetry before I fit an alternator.
it should be well over 14V from that terminal , There are test routines in the Car which are activated by the volvo VIDA diagnostic equipment . most likely the alternator which is very unusual , but must be worth getting it diagnosed properly .
