Problem is that many times you get a younger instructor and they end up getting hired by someone (airlines and so on) part way through your instruction and you have to then start over fresh with a new person.
If you can find someone who will stick with you all the way its a lot better...

My instructor is 77, has owned the flight school since 1968. Hopefully he will hang in there for a few more months.
One insurance company I contacted said no one over 65 could be used for an instructor. As someone who will be 55 next month this sort of pissed me off. I would think that as long as he can pass the physical it should not matter.
