According to recent information it would fail in Northern Ireland!
The brake tests for all permanent 4X4s should not be done on the rollers but on a road test with a special decelerometer (whose name I have forgotten at the minute)
I don't think that you could safely do it with one axle off the ground.
Edit - It's called a Tapley Brake Test Meter - it is contained in a box which the tester puts on the floor of the vehicle - it gives the 'g' force when braking. All testers know about it and every testing station should have one.

If it has the prop in place and you see them about to test on a rolling road then run in and tawt them.....you know what I mean.
They are are meant to use a load somthing or other normallly in a square wooden box.......all they do is driver it forwards and brake a couple of times and if the truck stops it will pass.

The 'something or another' in the wooden box is the Tapley Brake Test Meter.

Hi
For your info, I had mine tested with the prop off, they just put an 'advisory' or note to state this fact.
