This is more of a problem than the age of the parts. No bike shop in their right mind is going to warrant that a carbon frame or fork of any age is safe to use after being crashed. The cost of inspecting a frame to the required standard exceeds the flyaway cost of replacement even on late model high end frames. If the frame is of immense sentimental value, feel free to pay somebody £1000 to check it properly. Failing that, then in the absence of any obvious damage it's a coin toss, and you shouldn't give your business to anybody who suggests otherwise.
