Default 2016 XC60 62K miles total engine failure

My 2016 XC60 with 62,000 miles just suffered a catastrophic engine failure last week. Dealer indicated "there is a loud knocking sound from internal to engine. No codes stored. Oil Level ok. No external leaks. Checked oil pressure at sensor port .4MPA at idle with cold engine. Noise louder from bottom end of engine than cylinder head noise coming from connecting rod bearing or wrist pin." They offered me a used engine with 59K for $11,890. To which I said no thank you. I have no gaps in oil changes. I am the only owner and have receipts for all the oil changes and other maintenance I have done on the vehicle. It has never been serviced at an authorized Volvo dealer. No extended warranty because I originally leased the car for 4 years (why would I buy a 5 year 50,000 mile extended warranty on a 4 year lease) and then bought it at end of lease (big mistake). Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not know what to do at this juncture as I still owe a lot of money on this car. Certainly way more than it's worth with a non working motor.

looks like a duplicate post?

https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...message-94366/ has comments from your prior post.

Not sure what you are asking here - but to answer some questions, Yes an engine can fail even if the owner followed all scheduled maintenance. Is your car worth repairing? Yes since the book value exceeds the cost of the repair. Is there a way to repair at a lower cost? Yes, get quotes from various indy shops, do your own research (ie car-part.com) on replacement engines etc. Pay a shop to do additional diagnostics including dropping the oil pan to see if there's any debris or other signs where the noise may be coming from.
