1. A method for determining a component behavior of a vehicle component of a motor vehicle, the vehicle component being one of a plurality of vehicle components, the method comprising:
registering a start-up of the vehicle component for a first time;
in response to the registering of the start-up of the vehicle component for the first time, generating, at the motor vehicle, an assigned component identifier of the vehicle component, wherein the assigned component identifier comprises a sequence of a predetermined number of characters, wherein each character of the assigned component identifier is generated by a random generator;
generating, at the motor vehicle, a motor vehicle identifier assigned to the motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle identifier comprises a sequence of a predetermined number of characters, wherein each character of the motor vehicle identifier is generated by the random generator;
collecting, at the motor vehicle, operating data of the vehicle component;
assigning, at the motor vehicle, the operating data to the assigned component identifier;
assigning, at the motor vehicle, the operating data to the motor vehicle identifier; and
sending, from the motor vehicle to a vehicle-external evaluation apparatus, the operating data of the vehicle component, the assigned component identifier, and the motor vehicle identifier of the motor vehicle for determining component behavior of the vehicle component by the vehicle-external evaluation apparatus based on the operating data assigned to the assigned component identifier and the motor vehicle identifier.
