when your car was new it was 150,000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first.
The new revised 90000 mile figure was introduced around 2016 after some Emergency service vehicles had some problems , so they decided to reduce the interval then on all the new 2.0 Diesel engines .
You will probably reach ten years before 90000 miles. There is no reason at all to change it now, Volvo cambelts are very sound they don't wear as such. Ask them how they worked that one out ...

Thank you, that is the definitive answer I wanted. I will probably go ahead and book a dealer service in the New Year, and I may well ask the service advisor how my seven year old 34,000 mile car is supposed to warrant a new cam belt...
