Machines don't have to be new and but a recently purchased machine that's dirty and **falling out of repair** is a signal of poor preventive maintenance.

I don\'t think this machine is already broken; otherwise it wouldn\'t be \"is falling\" - maybe \"vernachlässigt\" or \"in schlechtem mechanischem Zustand\" would be better

Mir kommt es vor, als sei der englishe Satz eine Wort für Wort Überseztung aus dem o.g. Satz, was wäre sonst "fall out" ?.

reparaturbedürftig werden

Explanation:
fall out = herausfallen,
fall out of sth =
a) fallen
b) (squarrel), sich zerstreiten
c) (mil), wegtreten
d) happen), sich ergeben

d) trifft meiner Meinung nach zu.
fall out of repair bedeutet demnach reparaturbedürftig werden. Dies ist ein Zeichen mangelnder vorbeugender Wartung.
