This isn't a complicated system so a test bench could be built to mimic the car.

Swapping in a known good unit is always easier but at some point known good units will be getting scarce.



So once again, with feeling. There is no valid test for an OVP. You would need to isolate the semiconductor and apply a variable voltage source, ranging the voltage from zero to the specified breakdown voltage. For what it would take in time and test instrumentation, you could replace it three times.
