My Ford Fiesta N Reg doors all open from the outside but my driver door doesnt open from the inside is there a way i could fix it myself it's the only thing that wont pass its mot? The actual lever you pull seems like its disconnected.

If you can remove the door card (the trim) you can probably access the lock to see whats going on.
From memory (not the most reliable)
Take off the door arm rest / handle (2 screws)
There's another screw under the opening handle, I think
Remove the window winder handle (push the door car in and you'll see a small circlip that you remove with a tiny screwdriver)
Check for any more screws at the bottom of the door or behind the speaker grille
The door card then pops off, using a flat blunt blade in between the door card and the door, and prising gently.
Remove the polythene sheet behind and you should see what you need.

sounds like the wire/bar from the handle to the lock has come adrift,
do as john has suggested to gain access.

I dont think door locks faults will cause your car to fail the MOT providing you can open and close them ok
