Best Answer

It is an Asset which has nominal value or has lost its value due to depreciation or wear and tare or redundency of the asset.

If a Vehicle is completely out of function, without an engine and has no market value, it can be called an obsolete asset.

aditional: it can also be an asset with for example a 5 year depreciation schedule that for technical reasons has become useless to the operation at the end of three years due to technical advances, lack of support due to the vendor going under or other special cases. Depends on the business format and the tax code.
