As jamesbond.wikia.com states
That means he always aged from mid-to-late thirties. With an exception of Moonraker In Moonraker, he admits to being eight years shy of mandatory retirement age from the But it's the case for the novel, I am not sure about the movie, because I didn't watch it. If you go with the actors age, George Lazenby was the youngest Bond at 29 years when he was hired for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Moore is the longest-serving James Bond actor, having spent 12 years in the role (from his debut in 1973, to his retirement from the role in 1985), and having made seven official films in a row. Moore is the oldest actor to have played Bond: he was 45 in Live and Let Die (1973), and 58 when he announced his retirement on 3 December 1985.(source) |

I don't believe Bond's age has ever been specified in any of the movies, but as far as the actors go: Youngest: George Lazenby was 29 when he portrayed Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service Oldest: Roger Moore was 58 when he played Bond in A View to A Kill |

Speaking of the literary character, James Bond, Ian Fleming (creator) did not provide a date of birth, though James Bond is supposed to be in mid to late thirties. In Moonraker, he admits to being eight years shy of mandatory retirement age from the 00 section—45—which would mean he was 37 at the time.John Pearson's fictional biography of Bond, James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007, gives him a birth date of 11 November 1920, while a study by Bond scholar John Griswold puts the date at 11 November 1921. According to Griswold, the Fleming novels take place between around May 1951, to February 1964, by which time Bond was aged 42. |
