unmaintained

Never serviced anymore

Unmaintained describes something no longer kept up or cared for.

An unmaintained road develops potholes and overgrowth.

In software, unmaintained code receives no updates or bug fixes: The project was abandoned and is now unmaintained.

The word implies gradual deterioration from neglect rather than active destruction.
