That's incorrect.
But can you tell me how can I ask a question in the past perfect tense?
With this:
Yesterday I met a friend who I hadn’t seen for ages.

Thanks for corrections.

The main verb in that sentence is "met"; "hadn't seen" is part of the subordinate clause. Therefore, yours is a non-question.
