As Ace mentioned--if 3D resin parts have not been properly post-cured, they can deform and/or crack later. From my reading on the subject, I've learned that 3D objects that have not been properly hollowed can end up with liquid resin inside; if this resin doesn't cure (because no UV light is reaching it), the 3D part can crack later. Also, it is possible for a manufacturer to ship a "bad batch", but it's not common.

That said...model car parts are generally very small, and thus easier to completely cure with UV light than large, complex miniatures (think dragons and minotaurs and other fantasy figurines). Complete 3D printed bodies will probably still have relatively thin walls and cure to a satisfactory degree.

I feel fairly confident in the longevity 3D-printed, UV-cured resin parts. Time will tell!
