Get it serviced, the engineer doing the service can let you know if it's good for another year or so or if it's kaput.

If it was previously a rental, it should have been regularly inspected.
If you don't have the paperwork, look for an engineer's sticker, maybe inside the lid.

What's the general consensus?
It’s it’s fifteen or so years old replace it. Unless it’s 30 years old in which case it will last forever ;)
Worth looking at its location, output and what it’s doing, all might be stupid / wrong like a 15kw combi in your garage that’s doing hot water in an area with shit water pressure for a six bedroom house and puts its flue through the back wall at eye height.
If you are re doing everything I’d fit the best heating and hot water system I could; it’s the last one you’ll buy because we’ll all be on heat pumps in space year 2040

Boilers. What's the general consensus?
The place I'm in was a rental before and I'm in the process of updating (almost) everything. Got me thinking should I replace the boiler while I'm doing this work?
There's no problems with it from what I can tell and I'd only be replacing as a piece of mind.
