Feel that I am being stitched up by Volvo dealer who quotes £250 to provide and fit a new front suspension bottom ball joint on the right side.
Am I?

No I don't think you are being stitched up here Keith
Just don't go elsewhere and have a 'pattern' arm fitted (Sometimes inferior quality)
But how old is your car and how many miles?
I wouldn't expect any ball joint problems under 80 000 miles

There was a recall for these ball joints on bigger Volvos. Could be that they are all sourced from the same supplier. See car by car breakdown.

I don't know about Volvos but some motas (e.g. Pug 205) do not have a seperate ball-joint and to replace the bottom section you must buy the whole wishbone + ball and that could be where the cost is.
