It sounds as if they had a quick look couldn't find anything , given up and quoted the max price ! A cylinder leakage test is the first thing they should have done after the compression test ... I'm sure Volvo uk will say exactly that to them if they ask for a new engine ...
Sadly typical of many main dealers that lack skilled mechanics that are able to actually repair things. They mainly employ ‘fitters’ rather than mechanics
Nevertheless under consumer law in the UK you are actually covered for this kind of premature failure for six years from purchase. You should not have to pay anything for this repair even if it means a whole new engine.
