Make sure the hubs are free, and nothing inside the axle can bind, as nothing goes round in 2wd. The MOT doesn't use 4wd so you don't need fix it before.

If it is still binding and the hubs are free and it is in 2wd you have a big problem.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Failed bearing in the diff? Sounds like you will need to pull it out.
