Plenty of 30-year-old composite sailplanes are glued together with
epoxy. Not only that, but about half of their structure (by weight)
_is_ epoxy. No sign of them spontaneously falling apart in the air.

So, I would say that age itself is not a factor. More important is how its
been stored or used, and the quality of the construction.
