Unfortunately, while I had company cars throughout almost all my working life, Volvo was never an option, so I don't have that history, just the last 5-6 years with this car.

I just checked and did indeed pay £1000 deposit by card, not sure how that helps though.
Edit: I have now spoken to the Sales Manager at selling dealer. He was helpful but did say that once Volvo made a goodwill offer they tended to stick with it, but he would call them anyway. He clearly did not want to get caught up in any legal claims so hopefully that will add a bit more motivation.
