I have decided to pick an old domain for my new site. And I have found one oldy, but I'm not so sure about one thing.
Domain is old 14 years, but last seven years wasn't active. So how that affects overall? ty

Can anybody answer this? Is it worth to buy old domains?

Depends on the backlinks the domain acquired in it's lifetime. A domain that has a huge age without backlink won't bring you that far. Especially when it has been dropped between.

It's better than a new domain but be careful Check the Domain Metrics, Domain indexing rate, penalty, and archive of the site.

Yes it is provided the domain is clean, not been used as a PBN etc.

That's not a problem if you will build your site from the scratch. Doing high quality SEO will increase your site's authority quickly.
