Not an uncommon problem as the pump part sits above the motor so when the seal fails water gets into the motor and rusts all the iron parts till it seizes. I wonder is your mechanic fitting pattern parts or Volvo original. I would expect 8 or more years from a Volvo part but they are expensive compared to the Chinese copies.
