Default Year 5 service - schedule?

Hi All
Our 2014/64 plate XC70 AWD D5 is due its year 5 service - the last one we got as part of the 5 year sevice plan for £500 - can anyone tell me what this serivce will entail ie is it just an oil drop & filter change?
Milegae is currently 59500.
What other seriviceable - or other jobs - should I consider asking the dealer to carry out in addition? There are no nasty noises or anything that flags up to me apart from maybe the Cam belts etc.... a search on here suggests that its not due till 108000miles though?
Thanks

The 90,000 mile /5th year service is just a basic one ..

^ I dont really know - if it was done by the dealer as part of the service plan then yes... but I dont get an itemised bill or reciept as its on the plan..?
edit - found the invoice - it just says 'volvo 54000 service' with no additonal 'parts used' list below that (apart from the brake fluid and a 4wd allignment i asked them to do and the cost shown)

We have had this lack of info. problem with the service plan on our daughter’s 2O11 XC70. Dealer simply provided us with an invoice similar to yours stating, “if it was due to be done it will have been done”. When questioned further advised that the itemised invoice would have been sent to the underwriter for the service plan. We insisted upon receiving a copy of that itemised invoice. We were initially told that that was not possible but eventually and very reluctantly we were provided with one. We don’t understand the reason for the “secrecy”. It smacks of malpractice somewhere.
Re the aux. belt. My understanding is that the service schedule only requires the belt to be changed, BUT, there are comments elsewhere on this forum advising that it is the tensioner which sometimes fails prematurely, not the belt so the advice is to change the tensioner as a matter of routine at the same time. If the tensioner fails and takes out the belt it can then takeout the cambelt. New engine required at tremendous cost.
We found out after the service plan was signed by my daughter that it did not include the 10 years, 108,000 mile cambelt, aux.belt and tensioner renewal and as her car was rapidly approaching that mileage we paid for that as a “one off” job outwith the plan.

The 5th year service is a small service (just oil and filter) but you need to consider the aux belt and tensioner from what I understand.

That will be changed at the next service together with cambelt and it's tensioner if the mileage and years are exceeded . .
( 108000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first . )
