Is the Mexico that rubbish?

Yes.

The one I am removing is presumably
the predecessor to the Mexico and
has been in reliable service since 1973.

It came out in 1970, named after the 1970 World Cup.

I have been replacing combi boilers in my rented property on an
average of every 4 years - hardly good value then are they?

Sounds like you are using naff combi's or more Likely they are not installed
correctly. Even the cheapest combi should give 10 to 15 years if serviced
and maintained correctly.
