Absolutely no way it has been changed, unless you carry out a service yourself or observe it being done only the lord God knows what gets done |

As above, not impossible but highly improbable. |

You would think replacing something as simple as the filter to take someone off the scent would make sense....apparently not |

Yes. The upper left corner (especially if you look inside the "folds") is too clean to be an old filter... Could we see the other, "clean", side? If it looks the same, it could indicate a problem with your exhaust flow. |

Thanks all, I am out and the car is at home. It was quite clean on the top though I must admit. SD4 HSE Lux

If that air filter was changed 1000 miles ago I would recommend you change your air filter every 250 miles or get the car seen to ASAP |

In future mark the air filter and you will know if it's been done, same with oil filter etc etc Common sense isn't very common.

I seen the filters come out of my car. A lot of dust in them but they have never looked that dirty.

In my opinion (for what it's worth), there is no way that filter has only done 1000 miles.
