Like Richard said, there really isn't any specific age. You're probably more likely to see it the older they get, but it definitely can take a long time to start occurring, if you even notice it. Sometimes substrates can hide sperm plugs pretty well.

Just as an example, my northern Phineas started dropping at about the 5-6 month mark.

I have never seen plugs from my males (although I could just be missing them), and the youngest is about 1.5 yo.
