Every site has their own requirements on the age limits put on the caravans allowed on their site. You should check with the site owner before renting a plot from them if you believe your caravan could be kicked off before you are prepared to upgrade it.

Do I have to pay for council tax on my static caravan?

If you have your caravan on private land and use it all year round as a permanent residence you will need to pay council tax. Just as if you have your caravan on an all year round caravan park you will have to pay council tax for that caravan.
