Short answer: "prove it!".
There are many ways to say "sorry, you're not for us" without mentioning age etc.
I am not advocating ageism as such but to be honest, it HAS to be a factor in SOME jobs. You couldn't recruit a 58 year old into the Infantry and it may well be a poor return upon your money to recruit a 55 year old pilot.
