You're right.

Method of Inspection
Doors
1. Open and close the driver’s and passenger’s doors. Check that:
a. each door latches securely in the closed position
b. the driver’s and front passenger doors can be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle
c. any other passenger doors can be opened from outside the vehicle.
Reason for rejection
1.
a. A driver’s or any passenger’s door does not latch securely in the closed position
b. a driver’s or front passenger’s door cannot be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle using the relevant control in each case
c. a passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle using the relevant control.
Ultimately you're going to have to remove the door card to see what's going on with the mechanism.
