About this station
On the Wheel is an MOT test station at Unit 1 Ocean View Business Park, Gardner Road, Portslade, Brighton, BN41 1PL, in Adur, West Sussex (South East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S000672, and is authorised for 2 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2).
Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 3 of the 28 stations listed in Adur hold Class 1 or 2, and 16 of the 141 stations within 10 miles of this one do. It does not test Class 4 cars and light vans, so it is a specialist station rather than a general MOT garage; the 26 Class 4 stations in Adur are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Autofit (Sussex) Limited in Southwick, West Sussex, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 70 other stations sit within 5 miles and 141 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.3 miles.
The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65. Motorcycle tests are typically £20-29 against the £29.65 cap. Confirm the price with the station before booking; prices are not part of the DVSA register.
