It’s about fifteen years old, was in the house when we moved in, first problem with it as far as I can tell. Boilers certainly aren’t as robust as they used to be but decent ones are massively more efficient, we replaced the thirty year old boiler in our old house with a Worcester condenser boiler and pretty much halved the gas bill.Have you not got at least one portable electric heater>If not get two, one fan one convector. Never rely on one source of heat for heat/life.
This is a very common problem, they should have told you to do that first. If they run down an outside wall, especially if North facing, they should be heavily insulated, but they never are, it's plain stupid.
It sounds like Baxi boilers use cheap parts that fail far to easily, as do most modern boilers, to many rubber membranes, seals & PCBs in a hot/cold box. It's a modern con, our boiler is 30 years old & never fails.
