Age is only a part of the equation. Mileage and use over that mileage/ storage conditions between is another.
The main concern with age alone is rubber - getting hard, dry, and cracking. So that's all of the hoses, suspension bushings, mounts, sometimes seals.
Most of the wear and tear maintenance stuff is mileage based.
