Car year 2014, 75000 km, needs a new boot, should the cv joint be replaced at the same time.

ONLY, if the trunnion balls have worn into the bell grooves and caused ridges will you need to replace the cv. Until it is disassembled and inspected you will not know.
Also, if the boot has been damaged and lube has exited the enclosure AND been that way for a long time, then dirt and grit will have entered and damaged the running surfaces. THEN you have to replace the CV.
