Machine depreciation reflects loss in value associated with physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and, where applicable, economic obsolescence. Age and hours of use can provide useful evidence, but actual condition, maintenance, remaining utility, technological changes, and market evidence may cause otherwise similar machines to depreciate differently.
Operating hours, wear, maintenance history, repairs, upgrades, and overall condition can influence how comparable equipment is valued in the market. Two machines of the same age and model may therefore have different values when their service histories and remaining useful lives differ.
Functional obsolescence is a loss in value caused by characteristics within the equipment, such as outdated design or technology, inadequate or excess capacity, inefficiency, or excessive operating costs. An appraiser can distinguish that loss from physical deterioration and external economic obsolescence when developing a valuation opinion.
