Because they are not licensed and the act doesn't give then an exemption.

Schedule 7 Part 3 of the Transport Act 1985 provides such an exemption. See above.

Your OP said borrow, not be tested by a mechanic.

They wanted to use it in a reconstruction of the incident when our driver ran over a drunken pedestrian. Now they say they wanted to test the headlights on the road and also the brakes. So does that count as "testing" who knows. But they "commandeered another of our vehicle on the night so that puts a different slant on things,

The whole point of the exercise was to check things on the car that was involved.
