If you want to sell a Mori Seiki machine, you’ll get an indicative value. Mori Seiki machines built before the rename to DMG MORI SEIKI (2013) represent a generation of Japanese high-precision engineering with an active secondary market and steady international demand.

CNC lathes — NL, SL, CL lines
- NL 2500 / NL 3000: Mori Seiki’s most widely deployed high-performance CNC lathe internationally. With Y-axis, driven tools, and sub-spindle, these are top-tier machines for complex production.
- NL 2500 SY / NL 3000 Y: versions with an integrated Y-axis in the upper turret. High international demand thanks to their multitasking capability.
- SL 153 / SL 204: series-production lathes, broad installed base in industrial workshops.
- CL 153 / CL 203: the entry-level range, widely deployed among small and mid-sized operations.
Milling machines and machining centers — NV, MV lines
- NV 5000 α / NV 5000 A1: high-performance vertical milling machine for moldmaking and precision work. Mori Seiki’s European reference in the high-performance VMC segment.
- NV 4000 DCG: DCG technology (Driven at the Center of Gravity) for high speed with minimal vibration.
- MV 40 / MV 55: universal bed-type milling machines for larger parts.
Horizontal machining centers — NH lines
- NH 4000 / NH 5000 / NH 6300: Mori Seiki’s reference HMCs. Double pallet, large magazine, high productivity in series production.
- NH 4000 DCG / NH 6300 DCG: with DCG technology for high speed. Among the most requested machines on the used market for automotive and aerospace.
Valuation by model
We have no reliable public price range for the CL 203, NV 5000 A1, NH 4000 DCG and NH 6300 DCG: on used-machine marketplaces (as of October 2026) only a few listings for these models show an open price, and no reliable range can be derived from them. Value is determined by build year, control, operating and spindle hours, configuration and machine condition. Initial assessment after receiving the data.
Why Mori Seiki holds its value
Top-tier Japanese construction: Mori Seiki machines are built with high-rigidity cast iron, precision-ground guideways, and high-speed spindles with durable ceramic bearings. This construction lets them run at high precision for decades with proper maintenance.
Active Asian demand: Japan, Korea, and China have steady demand for original Mori Seiki machines. Asian buyers know the brand and pay fair prices, which supports residual value on the international market.
Control: depending on the series, Mori Seiki machines are fitted with the in-house MAPPS control, for example MAPPS III or MAPPS IV on the NL 2500 SY and MSX-501/502 on the NV 5000.
