A rolling road can be used for vehicles running under their own power, they also have the option to run the wheels up to speed via a built in motor, a brake tester that they use for MOT's turns under it's own power to a much slower speed, and as drive isn't engaged when brake testing it won't harm an FF

My mot man didn't go anywhere near the rollers just did a forward reverse forward test. Said he learned about rr's years ago. His first encounter was jacking up with the doors closed. Nothing about it on mot test guide. Experience is always better. |

Most brake testers have a 4wd mode....This rotates both wheels of an axle opposite directions, therefore not turning the driveshaft of that axle, thereby not causing any strain on the centre differential/4wd system. Each wheel's brake efficiency is tested separately whilst rotating in the forward direction. 2008 Range Rover TDV8 435,000kms
