An mot station should have an accelerometer to measure brake force on a road test.

So, how do we explain this to the MOT station, or will the test script they get for each model of car tell them about it?

It looks like we have to ensure the MOT tester is aware, probably worth a phone call in advance.

Nope no vehicle with permanent 4wd can be used on a single axle roller set up. if they have 4wheel roller set up they can be tested otherwise they fit a Tapperley Meter (accelerometre) and take em for short drive to test brake efficiency.

Here's some tips for you;
1)Introduce yourself
2)Start your own thread rather than post on an unrelated one
3)Next time don't be so stupid as to use the wipers to clear so much snow

Don't use a station that is going to use rollers. Insist on a Tapley portable brake meter. Google Tapley for info.
