fuel pump life for 2000 S70 AWD

I need help with issue please!!

My awd S70 fails to start and the mechanic told me that the fuel pump pressure is too low, and he asked me to replace it.I think he is worng becuase the car had only 78K miles on it, it is very hard for me to belive that a fuel pump on volvo with this low miles would go bad this fast.

Can anyone please let me if i really need to change the pump or if it could be cleaned,fixed or suggetions on the proplems in case you had similer problem.

the car crancks but will not start!

ThanX

I am not an expert but I have found on the internet that driving frequently with low fuel level will result in damage and overheat of the pump.

That thread should help.

Also, the fuel filter should have been changed by that mileage. Was it?
