In a hydraulic machine, hydraulic pump failure is detected and the pump lifespan is estimated before the pump failure occurs. The discharge pressure 122 , oil temperature 126 , and drain filter differential pressure 120 are measured, a correlative relationship 128 between the filter differential pressure and the discharge pressure is determined, and a representative filter differential pressure 130 is calculated from this correlative relationship. Using an oil temperature-differential pressure correlation function, the representative differential pressure value 130 is corrected so that the variable component 132 caused by the oil temperature 126 is eliminated therefrom. The long-term trend and the short-term trend of the increase over time of the corrected differential pressure is calculated. A pump failure is predicted or the pump lifespan is estimated based on the degree of deviation between the long-term trend and the short-term trend.
