When you get too old in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, your character will eventually die of old age, regardless of whether death is enabled or disabled, with most characters dying between the ages of 54 to 58. As your character ages, you will receive warnings that they are getting sick and nearing the end of their life, allowing you to prepare for the transition to a new character, typically a family member, to continue the game.
