I didn't actually see how he removed the blockage - but it suggests he
didn't just rod then through. They have had a new bathroom installed in a
different location so perhaps there is a tortuous route involved. The
actual underground drains are relatively new (maybe 30 years old) and look
to be in good condition. No trees close to the drains.

My 20 year old house has shared drains with the neighbours. A friend's
new-build house does too. They had a blockage and that was baby wipes
too. The drain guy just pulled them out with his hands (I guess with
gloves on.)
I guess maybe with the number of diverters and traps there are plenty
of places for these things to accumulate.
