Default Quattro and MOT brake test.....2WD???

The 8 went in for its annual MOT today - another pass .

I never normally pay much attention during the MOT test and just let them get on with it, but today when they were doing the brake test I noticed that the rear wheels were not moving when the fronts were on the rollers, and vice versa when the rears were on the rollers.

Is this normal? Shouldn’t the other set of wheels not on the rollers try and jump the car forward?

I mentioned it to the tester and he said it’s normal. Shouldn't they raise a 4WD car? Surely it’s not good for the transmission?
