Heat exchanger could be blocked, how hard is the water in your area, get much scale??
yes we do maybe the worst in the country is there a filter in it its a modena 102 about 4 years old
Possibly the plate heat exchanger then (small silver rectangular unit)
No filter as such to block it will be the fins inside so probably be a replacement and add a limescale reducer on the incoming mains supply

This might help
7.13 D.H.W. flowmeter
• Isolate electricity and water supplies
• Open a hot water tap to release water
pressure from the domestic side of the heat
exchanger, close tap.
• Remove outer case (two screws bottom rear
corners).
• Remove two screws from control panel and tilt
forward
• Take off protective cover from main PCB and
unplug flow meter lead from terminal X6
• Place a piece of cloth or some other
absorbent material over rear of control panel to
catch any drops of water that may be released
when removing the flow meter
• Using a 24mm open ended spanner, undo flow
meter unions "A" and "B" taking care not to
twist the copper tubing (access through base
panel).
• Remove flow meter, check + clean filter +
restrictor + fit to new flow meter.
• Reassemble in reverse order.
This boiler has a b-flow heat exchanger so requires scale reduction device in hard water areas.

Whereas Corfe may be very hard water I dont think mainstream Poole is very hard.
More likely to have been caused by a leaking hot tap!
That can be quite tricky to clear. It took me a couple of weeks with a similar type of boiler which had come completely blocked.
