Many asteroids could safely be considered as old as the solar system since many would have formed from the same protoplanetary disk that formed the planets and the remainder of the system. Matter in the solar system is believed to have coalesced from gas and dust in the original disk; some of the smaller objects at that time could further coalesce into larger bodies such as the planets. Note however that some asteroids were formed from collisions of other bodies and could thus have an age of formation that would make them "younger."
