Both!
If you have a 6 year old car with low miles it is age.
If you have a 2 year old car with plus 90k miles it is wear and premature age.
In all honesty 6 years or 90k is with their safety factor built in, you'll find it could probably go 10 years and 180k if anyone is willing to give it a go! However that is assuming the engine bay is clean with no leaks or foreign bodies being picked up in the area.
