Affect of late credit card payments on mortgage application

Hi all
So I am about to make a mortgage application, but am curious what impact a few old late credit card payments might have.
4.5 years ago at uni I was a few days late with 4 payments to barclaycard over 14 months. Since then I've had credit cards and a small loan and have never missed a payment on anything.
I closed that barclaycard account earlier this year.
I was wondering whether this will still have a negative impact on my mortgage application?

Depends on the lender. But they're unlikely to have much of an impact at that age.0
