The best way to tell is to migrate the data and replace it; if the 
problem persists then it's the phone, otherwise, it was the card.

Cards do go bad over time.  Two years is a decent run for an SD card 
that sees daily use, IMHO.  I don't use them in production for more than 
several dozen passes of writes, and I prefer to use them in append-only 
applications when possible.
