It's less a factor of age and more a factor of cycles (take offs and landings) and how well maintained they were/are.
According to some posts online these 4 former Qantas birds only have about 1/3 of the lifetime cycles they are designed for on them (since they flew lots of long sectors, versus shorter flights).
So lots of legs left in these birds, I'm sure WestJet will take good care of them too.
