Was visiting a friend over the weekend and they could not believe my car is over 3 years old. They thought it was new not bad considering I've never had it detailed or even polished!

Good friends if they let you park that in the drive or should I say inna da hood

Only ever washed it twice, so that is 4 buckets of water & a bit more hosing underneath. The clean photo was 5 months ago, & the last photo of the car. It still looks just as good today.

Mine is an '08 HSE in Stornoway Grey, and the cosmetic condition is astonishing for the age. I had a PDR chap round a couple of weeks ago to "disappear" three small dints, which he did to the point I can't remember where they were. She has four tiny stone chips that I will deal with in the next couple of weeks, but over all she is in cracking condition. Even my super-critical wife reckoned when I brought it home that with a personalised registration nobody could possibly tell her age - that's vehicle, not wife. Still shiny, still unfaded, and a credit to the manufacturers. The only realm thing that needed doing appearance-wise was polish on the black plastic exterior trim, which had been applied by the previous owner. Easy to do, and easy to fix.

Inside she's not bad at all. The leather has a couple of light scuffs from dogs leaping in, and there are scratches in the plastic around the suspension pillars in the load space, but really she feels like a much younger vehicle.

Parked next to a '15 plate example yesterday - although that one was a lighter colour - the only immediately apparent difference was that the other none looked like it had been washed and polished that morning whereas mine most certainly didn't.

My ones never get old, not with me anyway.

The last one still goes back to the supplying dealer for servicing, I've seen it once and looks as good as the day I sold it. It will be 4 years old this month, still has the Evoque alloys and twin exhausts i fitted.

At 3½ years old mine mostly polishes up inside and out to a new car finish but... the ivory premium leather was a mistake. It's not bad but the driver's seat no longer looks new.

Mine is shameful. 6 years old and it has 2 kids and bikes in it every day. Manky on the outside, random shallow paint scratches from unknown sources and the supermarket door dings.

Internally it has crumbs, dirt, random kids socks and whatever other detritous they decide to drop on the floor.

But I love that car. Sometimes more than the kids. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

supermarket dings?i park in wide spaces or take up two spaces, I do get funny looks ,but hey,unmarked body work,8yr old car.
