Human Factors; Procedure
Performed a go-around on [Runway] 30R at MSP. We queried controller that we saw an aircraft sitting on runway while we were on short final approximately 900 feet. He told us to go around which we did - then thanked us for the query due to him being distracted or involved with a disabled aircraft on Runway 30L; this occurred during VFR conditions at night.
Embraer pilot reported executing a go-around after spotting an aircraft stopped on the runway.
