Non opening Door - MoT failure?
My O/S rear door will not always open from outside but is ok from inside.
Will this be an MoT failure? |

If at time of test it will not open then yes.

Don't put the child lock on until you fix the door otherwise you will never open it.
Doors need to be able to be opened in an emergency, hence they are part of the MOT test. |

It will, if they spot it. Try a bit of WD40 sprayed into the bit of the outside handle which reveals itself with the handle pulled fully out.

There is a good chance that they will spot it as they have to test the seat-belts
