Do I need to refuse to test it, as I can't use the turnplates?

I cart see why I would have to use turnplates but it says in 9.2 of the manual to do so .
But how many quad bikes would be wide enough to use turnplates.

DVSA made a statement about testing Quads a few years back when testing was not suitable on a ramp. They pointed out that a hard standing surface could be used so long as the Quad could be jacked up. I.e. using a trolley jack and axle stands. In the days of old when I used to test class III vehicles I used to put a long length made pallet down the centre of the ramp so the vehicle could be driven along the ramp. Sometimes you have to think outside the box and use common sense.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Pretty sure that’s incorrect in relation to L6 quads.

why would that matter?the owners licence is the owners problem not ours.we have to be licenced for the classes we test before we get our ticket so not our problem unless you can think of a way of a tester testing a class of motor he aint licenced to drive.....lemme give you a starter,class 7.

If the power is higher than the one presented in the legislation, then a driving license is required.

This rule applies almost all over the world. If the power is higher than the one presented in the legislation, then a driving license is required. Maybe there are some countries with an exception, but I didn't hear about them at least. For all other countries, there is driving license required, otherwise you cannot drive the bike. Luckily, I just got my driving license 1 month before going to Tenerife. This guide from riderly.com/blog/guide-to-renting-quad-tenerife-island/ was of huge help, providing all the necessary information which came out to be extremely useful for us as tourists.
