I have an MY2003 V70 D5 that I replaced an injector in last winter. It had been poor at starting below 5 degrees C and then became a none starter without a blast of cold start into the air intake pipe. I don't recommend this as good practice though.

It will now quite happily start at zero degrees C without the need for preheating with glow plugs if required, so I'd agree with Bernard333 about the D5 generally being a good engine for starting under a variety of weather conditions. However, I note that it was mild weather this morning.

I'd check for error codes using a Volvo specific reader, to see if anything has been stored. Also have a leak off test and the Vadis/Vida injectors diagnostic done.

Good luck with this.
