pre-delivery inspection/preparation (PDI)
In the vehicle industry it is a requirement (of the OEM - original equipment manufacterer) that a dealer carry out a pre-delivery inspection and preparation of the vehicle or equipment befor delivery. This is normally abbreviated to "PDI check".
This term is applied accros the vehicle industry from cars to trucks and farm machinery.
Second-hand and used equipment is also given a PDI - It is not an overhaul, though used equipment may have undergone maintenance and repair work BEFORE the PDI.

overhauling of….
I believe Aufbereitung refers to a overhauling a piece of machinery as in the excerpt below:
http://www.mymajors.com/career/farm-tractor-mechanic/
"Da so ein Grünlandtraktor nicht "umzubringen" ist werden jährlich ca. 150 gebrauchte Traktoren der eigenen Marke zurückgekauft und wiederaufbereitet. Dabei werden Komponenten wie z.B. Motor, Getriebe, Kupplung, Bremsen überarbeitet, sowie routinemäßig Blechteilen, Reifen, Felgen usw. ausgetauscht. Die aufbereiteten Traktoren werden unter der Bezeichnung "generalüberholt" weiterverkauft."

: "Overhaul" = "Überholung" bzw. "Instandsetzung"- "Aufbereitung" is specifically about "PDI"
