Rhino combi Boiler burst water jacket

[TAKdriver]

Brand new to the forum but liked what I saw .
water pouring out of the boiler last nigh.
The boiler has only been installed for seven years : plumber ( friendly and efficient) has informed us that the water jacket has burst. In fairness that will not be able to be confirmed until the boiler is taken out but it looks like a correct diagnosis.
We are considering replacing with exactly the same boiler but obviously would like to know if this is a known problem with these boilers. Any experience on this out there ?
Thanks for your help.

Looks like a rebadged Firebird.

If its burst after only 7 years then why so keen to replace with the same? I would say that its either a poor product, poor installation or poor maintenance.
