It has been happening more since about 2017 when the 2010 and later cars have become neglected by their second and third owners and the aux belt not replaced every 54000 miles which is part of the volvo service schedule. Also the 108000 mile services are being missed or not done properly with volvo parts which is when all the belts rollers and tensioners are changed.

It's easy to check if your Volvo has any outstanding recalls that are still to be done. My 1997 Volvo 850 has a live recall which was supposed to be done but Covid lockdown caused it to be cancelled and I've not re-booked it in again
Click here to go to the official Volvo recall page

You can also check for outstanding recalls on the mot history checker online. Put your reg in, click on "outstanding recalls" and it shows you if there's any.
