Can rust cause a car to age?

To answer this question precisely would necessitate me knowing what you mean by the word "age". If car A is 10 years old with no rust, but car B is 10 years old with rust, they are both 10 years old. The age of both cars is 10 years. Only time itself causes age. However, if you ask the question "Can rust cause my car to become no longer useful?" The answer to this is - yes. Rust eats away critical parts of the car so that it is no longer safe to use.

Most tools are Chrome plated (or similar) which will protect the iron from the air - so rust will occur where there is a scratch or wear - and then the rust may form a layer that protect the rest of the tool from further rust. The amount of air in the water and the movement of the water will also effect how quickly rusting occurs. There have been plenty of old tools found on shipwrecks that are still in "reasonable" condition - covered in rust but still recognisable
