Relying on precise observations for the CPD-54 810 binary system, we investigate the robustness of the estimated age and convective core overshooting for a system with both stars on the main sequence (MS). […] We adopt the SCEPtER pipeline, based on grids of stellar models computed for a different initial chemical composition and convective core overshooting efficiency. The base fit suggests a common age of $3.02 \pm 0.15$ Gyr, in agreement with recent literature. This estimated convective core overshooting parameter is $\beta = 0.09 \pm 0.01$, with a corresponding convective core mass $M_c = 0.059^{+0.017}{-0.021}$ $M{\odot}$. The robustness of these estimates were tested assuming a narrow constraint on the helium-to-metal enrichment ratio. The chemical solution of the system changes, but the age and the overshooting parameter are almost unchanged ($3.08^{+0.17}_{-0.14}$ Gyr and $0.09 \pm 0.01$). In a further test, we halved the uncertainty as to the effective temperature of both stars and again the estimated parameter shows only small variations ($3.02 \pm 0.12$ Gyr and $0.09 \pm 0.01$). This low variability suggests that the age of the system with both stars in the MS can be reliably estimated at a 5\% level, but it also indicates that the power of the investigation is probably low. […] Despite the great increase in the observational constraints’ precision, the results support the conclusions of previous theoretical works on the stellar parameter calibration with double MS star binary systems.
