Default Efficiency of central heating boilers

My fairly ancient Potterton Prima was serviced today
by a Bord Gais (Gas Board) technician.

He said the boiler was about 13 years old,
but was in pretty good nick.
I asked if modern boilers were better,
and he claimed that a modern boiler might be 90% efficient,
while the Potterton would be about 60% efficient.

Is that true?
Are modern boilers much more efficient?
