If 'first chart success(entry)' is the reference point, then we are back to ZZ Top as the longest, continuously together, same line up. Together since '69, first chart entry '71.
If US chart included then The Krazy Kats beat that.Formed in 1957, played together with same line-up for next 57 years until death of lead singer Lee Dresser in 2014.

Not as long running as some bands mentioned here, but Linkin Park have been going from the late 90's with the same members, and are still making music and selling a lot of records.
Phoenix (bassist) wasn't with them during the recording of Hybrid Theory.Struggling to think of any that haven't broken up tbh.
Madness, same line up since 1979 and about to release another album. Chas is taking some time away at the moment but is still credited as a band member. To be totally fair he was allowed to be part of the band as they were laying down One Step Beyond so the very earliest incarnation of Madenss was the current active 6 piece.
Great post OP and some great contributions.
I cant think of any but then U2 it came to me in a nutshell. The PET SHOP BOYS they covered the U2 song and U2's humorous response was What have we done to deserve this ?
So that's my answer - The Pet Shop Boys I know its a duo not a band but

Wikipedia has a colourful little chart for Duran Duran:
Warren Cuccurullo is nearly 60 now!
I suspect there's more video of his (cough cough) other career "performances" on the net than there are of him playing his guitar.

I don't think theres anything like that of Bernie Marsden from the original Whitesnake doing anything like that.
We've been listening to old bands we liked in the 60s. Didn't realise these were still going, so looked at the line up today. Several hiccups along the way and disbanding, reforming as most do.
But if Tim Bogert had not announced his retirement from touring (replaced by Pete Bremy) 6 years ago this band would have had the same line up as in 1967!
Who are they?
Vanilla Fudge.
Had big hit with the Supreme's hit You Keep Me Hanging On.
