There are rules in Traveller for needed ship maintenance in ALL editions... but they're most pernicious in Traveller: The New Era. TTNE also has them for gear, vehicles, etc...
Note that they're inherited from Twilight: 2000 (2nd Edition)...

They're standard in both T2K and TTNE, but often ignored if using TTNE outside the M1200 sub-setting.

ISTR Aftermath and Morrow Project both had some kind of rules on it, too, for vehicles. I prefer it a bit more narrative.

An otherwise uninhabited star system, with just one station, selling fuel at extortionate prices... because the cluster only had jump 1 tech, and the station was essential for connecting the cluster through the narrow spot.
