I still have an Oyster card i bought in 2010 is it still good?


It should be. Try topping it up and see what happens. If you've
registered it, you can check the balance on the TfL web site.


It has a 0 balance


That's OK

the card itself is valid indefinitely (that's until they implement cards
with the next generation chips and depreciate all the old cards, but that's
years away)

It is only the balance that is, theoretically unusable. The T&Cs say after
2 years of non use, but anecdotal evidence shows that it is longer than
that.
