Think it is from memory.
If you can't get out of the car, then it's a safety issue. One of my old mercs failed on this or similar a few years back.
They might not check though........

Def get her to pay then 
Door cards on newer cars are generally a pain so best not to mess it up further.
Add £30 onto the cost for a few pints too
. Stress relief from the whole MOT situation

Depends how it's linked.
Just getting the door card off on some cars is a total ****
The Merc I had, mentioned above was a 1983 model with manual linkage from handle to lock and took me 3 hrs to sort.
