The mechanic at my local garage said the car would fail the MOT because the faulty rear door would need to open from either the inside or outside for it to pass. I have heard evidence both for and against this from a number of different sources. Can anyone confirm that this is an MOT fail?

Officially, the car would be a refusal to test because ALL doors, bonnet and boot must open to give access to testable items.
