ive never had a problem with any of the cars i drive daily or close to it ( i own 5 cars currently) my van was a daily driver for around a year and i did 20k+ km on it without a service at all, ive now had it for 3 years and changed the oil, filter and spark plug once because i felt bad, it still starts first crank every time (after putting a good battery in, i take the batt out if leaving it for more than a week or 2) even after leaving it sitting for 6 months once the battery goes in it starts straight away, the joys of a carby 4 pot on LPG...
one of my other cars though is a 1998 commodore (aka pontiac GTO) wagon, it has the 3.8L ecotec V6 and it runs perfectly when im driving it daily but has no end of problems if i leave it for too long, ive had it for 4 years now and left it sitting for 6 months twice, its been serviced every 7500km on average and not drive too hard but every time i leave it sitting for too long it has trouble starting and lacks power until i give it a service and drive it for 500km or so
my current daily is a 1977 F100 that has done 690k km and is still going strong, i bought it at 680k so im not sure on its service history but it starts first click every time for me and im not gonna touch much until it doesn't anymore
