Section 3.5  "The DKIM-Signature header field"  describes the x= tag as a
optional signature expiration time value.

I am trying to understand why this value should be trusted and even if its
fails due to expiration, how does the MTA handle this?

It should be trusted if the signature still verifies. If the signature is
expired, it should be considered the same way as a missing and/or
broken signatures. That is, as if it were not there at all.
