It's actually very easy to detect electric motor health.
Vibration analysis can sense bearing condition and megger and growler testing can give stator winding insulation condition.
This is fully developed testing science that has been used on industrial motors for nearly 30 years and has been gaining increased popularity with the expanding use of variable frequently drives. VFDs are a little harder on motors than just running them on organic 60hz power all the time.
