Its one thing to include an age limit on Buses running Contracts subsidised by local tax payers, but I've never heard of such a restriction on commercially run bus services in the deregulated environment.

No, I'm not saying that. However, I do seem to remember reading Arriva and Merseytravel had an agreement that they wouldn't use buses older than 15 years in their bus stations. Certainly, this seems to have been adhered to in recent years.
