Just a quick update on this! Turns that it was indeed the ISG that failed. Although the car was out of warranty it appears the ISG has proved to be an issue on this model, and Volvo were very helpful.
I still can’t quite get my head around the fact that it’s failure completely immobilised the car. Considering it has all the elements of a normal non hybrid, why did it the engine not start? And why was VIDA so useless at diagnosing the issue? One day, I’ll find out....
