Therefore Door actuators are faulty, if you press the key once or even twice can the doors be opened from the outside yes or no ? can they be opened from the inside yes or no.

My wife's Polo has passed the last two MOT's with a rear door which only opens from outside. The lock failed just before the first test so I called the garage and asked, they said front doors must open from inside & out but the rear only need to open from outside to pass. I managed to get the door unlocked but had to disconnect the inside handle, this has been shown as an advisory (I did replace the lock after the first MOT but the new lock soon had the same issue)

My old ZS failed its MOT once because the read door handle was broken off (don't ask!) and you couldn't open that door from the outside. The reasoning the tester gave me was because the door should be able to be opened from the outside in case of emergency.

Post one sounds as there is a fault with the actuators not just insufficient button presses.Doors need to be opened via internal and external handles so it’s a fail
