   Probably the metal rod has become detached from either the key barrel or door catch.

   it won't pass an MOT if the door doesn't open,
   
   and as above probably the rod just come off.
   
   ifyou undo the door card bolts then move the seat fully forward pull the door card off at the back then front it should slide up and out then you can try and manually open the door and then see what the problem is.
