The trouble with using an MOT brake tester is:-

1/ It will tell you that the front and rear brakes are working ( or not ) but it won't tell you how well the rears are working relative to the fronts, and

2/ the S2000 has a limited slip rear differential and shouldn't be put on a rolling road brake tester.
#2? Dont they have to do this as part of an MOT?

In this case an alternative method is used, usually a decellerometer.
