Question

I want to check in linux bash whether a file was created more than x time ago.

let’s say the file is called text.txt and the time is 2 hours.

 if [ what? ]  then      echo 'old enough'  fi 

Answer 1

Only for modification time

if test `find 'text.txt' -mmin +120` then     echo old enough fi 

You can use -cmin for change or -amin for access time. As others pointed I don’t think you can track creation time.
