What is the usual age for a Jewish boy to celebrate hi Bar Mitzvah?

The "bar mitzvah" is the person; it's not the synagogue service or the celebration or the party. A Jewish male becomes a bar mitzvah when he turns 13, whether he knows it or not, and whether or not the occasion is celebrated in any way. Similarly, a "bat mitzvah" is also a person ... not a synagogue service or a celebration or a party. A Jewish female becomes a bat mitzvah when she turns 12, whether she knows it or not, and whether or not the occasion is celebrated in any way. A person who did not celebrate their bar mitzva in the customary way, may do so at any age from 13 years old and further.

Can you have your bat or bar mitzvah at any age?

Yes! There are a number of reasons for having an adult Bar Mitzvah - you may not have celebrated it when you were a child, you may have converted in later years, or you may have experienced a spiritual awakening, and you want to mark your commitment to the Jewish people again - as a mature adult. You can have a bar/bat mitzvah at any age, although there is a custom to have a second bar mitzvah at age 73.
