reparability
Capacity for restoration
Reparability is the quality of being repairable—how readily something can be fixed when broken.
The term appears most often in discussions of consumer electronics and sustainability, where manufacturers may design products with high or low reparability: The phone scored poorly on reparability due to its glued-in battery.
