freezer is 5 years old and has been fine . Now it struggles to keep below minus 10 degrees or so and the condenser is permanently very hot . The cooling plate doesnt seem to be getting very warm either. Does this sound fatal and is it worth us spending £85 quid on a repair call out etc?

£85 callout plus possible compressor regas £££.I would call it a day and look at a new one unless you are set on keeping it for some reason?.
