Combi Boiler advice for a layman

[Last Plumber]

I bought my house 15 years ago and the (heat-only: less to go wrong with it than a combi in fairness) boiler was already 18 years old. Since then the boiler has needed a new PCB and a new fan, so under £600 in repairs in 15 years. I suspect the heat exchanger is badly corroded and may fail eventually, but it can be surprising how long last legs can be.

So how long was your salesman suggesting your old boiler will last?

What boiler have you got?

like he said The current one is a Baxi Combi 105e.

What boiler have you got?

Mine's a Potterton (Netaheat) Profile 40e, which, as I say, is a heat-only. My point is that we often worry about old boilers breaking and not being repairable, yet I can think of a lot of boilers that have lasted similarly.

To clarify, I'm not the OP and this isn't about my boiler.

I know who you are, I was just interested in the remark about your boiler.
I used to install those years ago and they were good boilers. Their efficiency is pretty good too.
