Not usually.
PPE/NCA are usually valued at cost less depreciation. Fair value implies they are going to be sold (= value under an arm’s length purchase/sale).

So does writing this substantive procedure as following is correct?
Hire an independant expert and ask him to value market value of PPE/NCA to see whether it has been recorded at cost less depreciation or not

No. Why on earth do you need an expert to check cost less depreciation? Market value is mostly irrelevant for non-current assets.
You need to think more before asking questions.
