Abstract
An inspection device for inspecting a vehicle in which drive force generated by a motor is transmitted to a drive wheel via a plurality of gears is provided. The inspection device includes a generation unit configured to cause the motor to generate torque in two rotation directions different from each other, in a state in which the vehicle is stopped, and an estimation unit configured to estimate worn states of the plurality of gears, based on a rotation amount of the motor in accordance with the torque in the state in which the vehicle is stopped.
