Volvo V70 - Dual Mass flywheel - Stirtog1

I recently had a new master brake cylinder fitted which involved opening the gearbox. A new clutch was fitted at the time and I was told that the dual mass flywheel was in the middle of its tolerances and did not need changed. However there has been a problem with the clutch with it being extremely stiff so they are going the strip the box again and fit another one. I have read a lot recently about dual mass flywheels failing and wondered if I should get it replaced at the same time as the car has done 102k miles. Suggestions would be welcome. I do intend to keep the car for a good few years yet. It is an 07 model 2.4 the last of the old shape.

Thanks

Does being in the middle of its tolerances mean its half worn? If so leave it. I'd still ask for a price to have one fitted while they're doing the work and a price for fitting one separately. Then maybe check out some Volvo forums to see others experiences and make your decision with a bit more knowledge to hand.
