Not likely. Once in production, there is no test equipment installed in an airplane. Such equipment is only installed for certification testing.
OTOH, in many cases the airplane is delivered without the interior installed, as with the new deal Boeing has with China. They have their own paint and finishing plant, where they will install the interior.
