What are the simplest ways to inspect the engine condition?
One of many ways is to use your OBD2 scanner. Look for Long term fuel trim (LTFT) and short term fuel trim (STFT) in idle and in operating temperature.

If they are below + or - 3% or even 5%, the engine is good condition. Near 0% means good air fuel combustion, fuel system, injector, spark plug, air control, ignition, combustion, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter and etc.
Normally, there are one LTFT and one STFT for each engine Bank. 4 cylinder engine has Bank1 only. For 6 or more cylinders there are Bank1 and Bank2. So, 4 cylinder has one LTFT and one STFT while 6 or more cylinder engine has two LTFTs and two STFTs.
