A vehicle has power steering. To drive the power steering pump is an auxiliary 4 ribbed belt but the belt is in a very poor condition where only 2 ribs remain with lots of splits.

cant fail it for function(it is)abandon on grounds that you could cause(or be liable for)further damage to vehicle particularly when revving it/lock to lock check.

Very true castrolrob, but you can if it's drive system is defective (2.3 Power Steering - RfR 6. Pump insecure or its drive system missing or defective)

assuming its as bad as described you aint gonna complete the test due to the above concerns about causing damage,thats an abandon/abort whatever.if on the other hand its capable of completing the test pass and advise.we test to the MINIMUM standard remember....
