Faulty rear door lock, will my car fail its MoT?
The rear door on my 18 year old Volkswagen Polo won’t open from the inside or the outside. Is that going to cause the car to fail the MoT? Other passenger doors have the same but intermittently i.e. could or couldn’t work during MoT depending on mood.

The car would fail the MoT in its current condition. All of the doors must open from the outside and the inside.
Could simply be sticking lock servos, which can be fixed by applying WD40 via the access grommet in the lock.
