Generally so far locally you seem to be able to tell the boats which may have issues by the way they look / general condition. I would suspect their Aux's would be no different, we had one come in with a wasps nest in it!!
Also most Auxs are really too small to be useful on anything but a calm day with no wind and tide. They don't have enough oooomph to properly and safely control the direction of travel.
My motor might one day give me trouble but I will have done everything to try and avoid it. If we are going way offshore there would be more than one boat going anyway.
