Hello. There really is no maximum age. He is likely starting to mature into an adult, so his appearance and behavior may start to change soon. If not neutered, his face will fatten, he may start marking with urine and may have some territorial aggression. He is the ideal age to neuter now, but it can be done at any time throughout his life as long as he is healthy enough for the anesthesia.
