<p>A state of an internal combustion engine (1) of a vehicle (10) is determined. In this context, the vehicle (10) comprises a further motor (2) for driving the vehicle (10). In order to determine the state, at least one measurement variable from a group is detected, when the group comprises: ° an overall distance travelled by the vehicle (10), ° a further overall distance travelled by the vehicle (10) during which the internal combustion engine (1) is operational, ° a number of starts of the internal combustion engine (1), ° an operating period of the internal combustion engine (1) per start of the internal combustion engine (1), ° an oil temperature per start of the internal combustion engine (1), ° an oil temperature per stop of the internal combustion engine, ° a water temperature per start of the internal combustion engine (1), ° a water temperature per stop of the internal combustion engine (1) ° an oil level in the internal combustion engine (1), ° a rotational speed and a load level of the internal combustion engine (1), if a temperature of the internal combustion engine (1) is below a predetermined threshold temperature during operation of the internal combustion engine (1), ° a proportion of pollutants in the oil of the internal combustion engine (1), and ° values of an acceleration to which the vehicle (10) is subjected. The state of the internal combustion engine (1) is determined as a function of the at least one measurement variable.</p> |
