I litter trained my Dutch rabbit when she was about 5. My parents bought her for my 11th birthday and I was too young to know she shouldn't live alone. When I got a bit older I pointed this out but they weren't that sympathetic and I guess it would have been hard to introduce a new friend at that point. The long and the short of it is that I brought her into our house to live with us to make sure she wasn't lonely, so it's definitely possible to litter train later in life!
I used a corner of her indoor bunny cage and just moved all her droppings/waste there and she took to using it. I think choosing somewhere that's "their" space, not too far away from where they go naturally, is key. If you need to move it then I'd move it a foot or two a day away from that location, so they follow it gradually.
Hope that helps!
