Is my MOSFET fried?

Is there a surefire way to tell (other than the darned thing doesn't work) if a mosfet has been damaged due to static or other type of charge? Will the voltage readings be off or will it test different when using, say, a TC-1? In my current circuit I've got not signal going through a BS170, D-S voltages are about 5V and gate is 9V.

It's a SHO and my voltages are
D 9V
G 5.1V
S 5.7V

S 130mV
G 2.28
D 4.68

☝️That's the measurements for the MBP Crotchfire Hurricane (*SHO with clipping diodes).

From the MBP schematic:
9V>D resistor is 5k1​
D>G resistor is 10M​
G>GND resistor 10M​
S>GND resistor 150r​
There is also a 470pf cap going from Source to Gate.
