Question is .. how good is the pump after 10 years .. must be some
slippage by now .. and how long is the boiler likely to last ?

There's no reason why it should be significantly degraded from the
performance when new. The most likely weak point is the start capacitor,
which costs a few quid to replace

what do you mean by slippage ?

my 242E lasted 18 years and was still working when I removed it last
year
