I can tell you the story of this one...was spotted by a mechanic on a routine check.
was closely inspected by the quality manager and tech services department.
was decided as there was no spares and the A/C was needed in service to carry the defect as a non mel defect and the crew freight door to remain locked at all times except in case of emergency all loading to be done through the back door.
IIRC it continued in service like that for some length of time before the CAA became interested.
just another black tick in the long list of black ticks the CAA has been compiling
