What he said.
GURPS is pretty good about you get what you pay for overall. So if an advantage is not listed it wont apply.
Some Machines need to breathe, for cooling or combustion for example so Doesn't Breathe is not included in the Machine metatrait.
Same with Unaging, some machines will wear out faster than others but no machine currently made by man lasts forever. Even purely electronic ones just wear out after awhile.
