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

No chance, well still be fitting boilers then now matter what bs they are currently coming out with.

Indeed. Gas boilers were due to be banned (for new builds) from 2023 but that seems to have slipped with no update on when it has moved to.
There's a push (but just a push) from the IEA that no new fossil fuel boilers should be sold globally from 2025 onwards.
Obviously replacing existing boilers in homes should get some protection but it could easily become expensive quickly a few years down the line.

A ground source heat pump would be interesting to fit in our first floor flat.

Fitted in 2004 if the sticker is anything to go by.
So getting on for 15 years old. It's a valiant which are meant to be quite hardy aren't they?

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.
