Volvo pads are good but they veer towards the hard and durable types. New discs and pads have to be run in and need to be worked quite hard regularly for about 100 miles to get them bedded in. If this 100 miles is all town work or you are always very easy on the brakes, the pads and discs can get a shiny glaze to them which makes for very poor braking. I would be tempted to remove the pads and give them a good rub down on a sheet of, say, 240 paper. Then give the discs a good going over with the same until you get a good matt finish. Hopefully that may cure the problem. If that is the reason, give the brakes a good work out now and then to stop the problem coming back.
