Found some old seeds in the shed, broad beans, runner beans etc. I reckon they will be over 5 years old – chances of them being worth planting?.

Cheers!.

Do it. What’s the worst that’ll happen ? IME beans last many years.

Plant them. The world needs more Trifids.

Seeds last a blooming long time. There is a world seed bank (for the event of a global catastrophe) and they seem to keep everything forever.

Try sprouting them in some soaked kitchen roll indoors to save possibly wasted time planting? 10 seconds work, give them a few days/weeks and see if anything happens.

cool the seeds to the internationally recommended standard of ?18 °C (?0.4 °F).

crikey, my shed’s cold but not that cold…

or stick them in a seed tray and germinate (or not) in your window.
