However when I then used the Android Spotify app on my phone to control the Volvo Spotify app and press play, despite the Android app saying that it was still connecting to the Volvo the car did actually start playing the track. Still not sure what caused the deadlock but glad it's now working and hope this helps others if they find themselves in the same situation.
