You can read the plugs with a "loom" (10X microscope with a light) and look
for small black or shiny specks like the plug has measles on the porcelain.

Another way that is really not feasible for most is when the motor is taken
apart, the part of the rod bearing that was closest to the piston will be
severely worn into the copper.
