Contexto: conversación entre un cazador y su ayudante.
Cazador: Parece que un cartucho está atorado en la escopeta.
Ayudante: ¿No anda?
Cazador: No, no funciona bien. No expulsa los cartuchos como debiera hacerlo.
(Cuando el ayudante pregunta "¿No anda?", es una forma abreviada de preguntar "¿No anda la escopeta?" o "¿No funciona?")

Is it not working?
I would tend to use this tense for "no anda" and then "it doesn´t work" for "no funciona".
