Tried all this afternoon to get the test to complete without success. Steps I have taken and various links to related details:
If you have any ideas or suggestions always appreciated. Thanks again for all your help to date.
1. Reset NVRAM and booted to external USB 10.10.5 drive as before. Checked current Physical backing and confirmed it is currently disk1s2.
2. Opened Terminal window and used diskutil list to confirm disks;
imac---simon:~ simon$ diskutil list

3. Entered and ran;
smartctl -t short disk1
Waited as previously for 20 minutes but still no result just the same from log;

Tried this three times with the same result. One note. Despite using the -X abort command and it confirming Abort, trying to run another test results in an error saying current test still running despite abort;
=== START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===
Can't start self-test without aborting current test (10% remaining),
add '-t force' option to override, or run 'smartctl -X' to abort test.
So for each test I reboot to the external USB drive.
Next I tried in Foreground Mode with;
smartctl -t short -C disk1
This was to see if the HD was being put to sleep or otherwise the test being delayed due to some processes causing these long delays (despite being booted to another disk)
Result was the same and reflected in tests 2-4 i the above log from testing three times.
Next I tried (after reading about similar issues) testing only the first 25GB via 'select';
smartctl -t select,0-49999999 disk1
Same result reflect in 1 of log above.
To research this further I referred to the following:
Install smartmontools on Mac OSX (to install smartmontools via brew)
How do I get detailed SMART disk information on OS X (Mavericks or later) (for general ref.)
Short Selftest (and the Smartmontools wiki generally for ref.)
SMART tests with smartctl (for general ref. for types of tests etc.)
and also some posts on failing tests for example;
SMART-Test never finishes
[smartmontools-support] long tests automatically get interrupted
smart tests never complete - Seagate 7200.12 ST31000528AS CC34
From this it's possible their is some firmware issue preventing the test, or some I/O or drive issue but that's just from reading around on the issue. Nothing solid.
I tired running something to keep the disk running during the test from this post but could not get it working to try;
---
When the drive does not handle any input/output activity during the test, it may go to standby, which raises the Interrupted (host reset) condition. Try to read from the disk at suitable intervals:
while true; do dd if=/dev/disk1 of=/dev/null count=1; sleep 60; done
(replace /dev/disk1 with the appropriate device; reads one sector from that device every 60 seconds until you hit ctrl-c)
This helped in my environment: OS X 10.6.8, WD Elements USB-connected drive, SAT-SMART-driver 0.8.
A captive test should theoretically keep the drive online. Yet the hardware command send by smartctl may time out before the test completes, causing the kernel to reset the link and ending up in the same situation as above (bug #303).
See this thread on the smartmontools-support mailing list for further details. I acknowledge Christian Franke for the insight given here.
---
Not sure what else to try. My brain is pretty fried from trying to get a test... It may be something quite simple but I am not used to using command line etc. so perhaps it is something like that.
Thought I would post as much of what I have tried for info at least.
My though now is to possibly extend the BOOTCAMP SSD partition by recreating the CS again as it is not really large enough at 60GB though it works fine from testing and installing. Not sure what the smallest reasonable OSX partition size may be for the rest of the SSD 121GB? But the OSX should use the HDD at least and Windows is more important at this time.
It seems I will need to get quotes to replace the HDD. From reading there certainly seems issues with the 3TB APPLE HDD ST3000DM001 drives and I guess I was one month too slow in purchase to get it covered by the replacement offer...
For now this would at least a workaround allowing me to use W10 (actually nice to have the SSD speed) hopefully.

Finally the current -a report for ref.
