Volvo check the pump on first timing belt change and change on second. Its checked on first timing belt change coz like any part it can fail. Volvo will not guarantee that it won't fail.
As you have the part already it would be silly not to.
Your changing everything else so for piece of mind and hopefully never be in their again. Sort it all and leave it finished.
You would be gutted if something happened the engine and you had a new one sitting in your cupboard at home.

Volvo don’t change the water pump. Its simply visually checked for leaks/noises & left alone if it appears in good condition.
As the OP has a genuine water pump, I agree that it makes sense to change it. However, if he didn’t have one & the existing was working fine, then he could well leave it alone. There’s plenty of Volvo’s with original pumps at over 200,000 miles.
