Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Motorola Moto G3 seems to be average. While there are some positive aspects such as the lack of adhesive for the back cover and easy access to the battery there are also several negative aspects such as the use of strong adhesive for the battery and the need to disassemble multiple components to replace the screen. The use of plastic covers also adds to the difficulty of accessing certain components. Overall I would give the device a score of 6.5 out of 10 for repairability.
