It's not "cheating", per se, but it is unfair.
How does an unaffiliated student get access to those prior year exams? Fortunately, the internet is levelling this somewhat.
When teaching at a college level, I used to go out of my way to provide any historical resources. I want my class to be fair to everyone involved.
I also used to redraft my exams and assignments every single year. This is quite a lot of work and a lot of professors simply won't do it. However, if you don't, then some students will take advantage of it, and your class isn't being fair to everyone.
