Some hints:

Avoid "más mayor". With "mayor" we use "mucho": "se ve mucho mayor".

Take a look at the discussions on "más que" and "más de" here and here; they also apply to "mayor que"/"mayor de".

And "to age" = envejecer.

Por supuesto, si quieres una expresión más coloquial.

También se dice "no pasan los años por ella".
