Not that the belt will fail particularly , but we have zero experience of how long it will last . With the volvo parts the quality is known and proved over several decades now . The quality of the non volvo water pumps is known now after quite a few failing in the last 5 years ..
The aux belt on the 5 cylinder diesel must be changed every 54000 miles too . ( but it's tensioner every 108000 with the cambelt )

I use Quinton Hazell and couldn't see any difference between the original Volvo branded pump and the QH replacement. The same applied to the belt, tensioner and idler. The waterpump looked like it came out of the same factory.
Many parts on the V60 are Ford branded.
