I think I have been doing Wudhu wrong all along. I have only been washing my face, arms, hair and feet, but not the nose or mouth. Does this mean my prayers have not been valid?

Neither washing nose is obligatory in Wudhu nor washing mouth. Both of them are just recommended and not obligatory. Washing head or feet in Wudhu is wrong because you should wipe over them and not wash them.
If you are sure that your Wudhu was invalid, you need to perform it properly and re do the prayers which were done with wrong Wudhu.
