For people with DNA genetic damage to mitochondria there are muscle biopsies to determine if the mitochondria are missing etc.
The biopsies are complicated and have to be done in a special careful way too.

But for general purposes, no, there are no other specific tests that I know of.

For now we have only hints when you respond to mito support nutrients in a positive way, that implies mito functions are
compromised.
