Working for ages, succeeds (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

goes far

'succeeds' is the definition.
(going far is a kind of succeeding)

'working for ages' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'for'+'ages'='forages'
'forages' with letters rearranged gives 'GOES FAR'.

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
