Grade is correct, but needs be to A5/B5 spec to be suitable for Volvo engine.
Just found this advert, which says one version of that oil meets that spec... just check it is the right version...

There should be a sticker under the bonnet that specifies the oil grade for your engine. I use 0W-30 Castrol Edge A5/B5 in my 2009 V70 2.5T but 5W-40 in my high mileage 1995 850 T5.

Yes, it should be 5W/30 in all UK based Volvo 5 cylinder diesels. 0w/30 is if you live somewhere with temps often below -10C. There's a very technical, recent thread on here about why it's important to get exactly the right oil spec for modern engines:
