It may help to wear nyrile gloves for a good grip. Grab it tightly and try and turn it. If it does, the spline drive has failed and more than likely the front transfer box could well have stripped the splines and need replacing. Knock of at least £1000 for fixing.

Or do what I did and actually take it off road during the test drive - that way if it gets stuck because the AWD isnt working the lying seller can recover it, lol. Luckily the AWD was working on the one we went to see. The dealer was a bit shocked when I came back from the test drive with it covered in mud :-)
