So cv joint was dry so I repacked grease and put a thick cable tie to hold boot until I got home. I have owned the car for five years full service history. But the issue off drive shaft boots seems to come up every year.

Did you use the Genuine volvo boot kit and crimp the clips adequately ? No its not been a particular problem out there with the masses of volvos on the road. If a small branch gets tangled under the car that can rip it to shreds.
In your case it sounds like they didnt put any grease in, it always leaves a mess, it doesn't get thrown off the actual joint due to its viscosity.
