Published grade / five-factor mean
D 60/ 100

The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.

Why this grade

Canon sells genuine replacement parts to the public via its Parts Order Desk, and a large independent repair ecosystem plus iFixit guides exist for EOS DSLR/mirrorless bodies, which are mechanically serviceable. However, Canon does not publish service manuals to the public (authorized-only; third parties like USCamera resell them), explicitly recommends authorized service, and voids warranty for non-authorized repair. EOS bodies carry no documented part-pairing software locks, which is repair-friendly relative to phones.
