That’s a decent age for a boiler, and don’t forget they are less efficient as they get older too. The fact that no spare part was available should tell you all you need to know about the expected lifespan of the unit. That said if you were absolutely determined you could have had an independent central heating engineer add an external expansion vessel to your system. We had that done to ours because the internal vessels supplied for our boiler were notoriously short-lived.
