Default Den. Super Star x Ise 'Pearl'

Everyone. I've had a Den. Super Star x Ise 'Pearl' for the past three years that is happy as a clam. It just got through blooming for the second time, once in August and also in January. It has two keikis on it and a large growth of new roots. The mix it is in is not stale and my question is whether to repot this now or let it be. I know that "Dens" like to be root bound but this fellow looks quite content in its current home.
Thank you to all that respond, and have a grand weekend.

Sorry no one has responded yet.
I would think, that after 3 years, it may be time for a repotting. What type of medium is it in? If it's bark, 3 years is a long time. Even if it looks good at the surface, down below it must be fairly degraded.

Thanks Camille. A funny thing happened after I posted.
The plant was hanging and I was in the process of taking down to water it when I dropped it and the pot it was in broke. So much as to whether it should be repotted or not. It was planted in osmuda fibre and lava rock and the media was in quite good condition. It now resides in a new pot with the same media that is fresh needless to say. Thanks for your reply. Au revoir.
