Crossword Genius

Pressed into service, is old (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

used

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pressed into service' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'old' is the second definition.
(as in used or second-hand items)

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for used that I've seen before include "Enjoyed" , "with some traffic" , "took a chance on becoming dependent" , "Worn" , "Pre-owned" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
