About this station

Hoopers is an MOT test station at Tywardreath Garage, Fore Street, Tywardreath, Par, PL24 2QP, in Cornwall (South West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 79244, and is authorised for 4 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 46 of the 309 stations listed in Cornwall hold Class 1 or 2, and 7 of the 52 stations within 10 miles of this one do. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 17 stations in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 289 of the district's 309 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Parkside Garage, 0.8 miles away (Classes 4, 5 and 7). 23 other stations sit within 5 miles and 52 within 10 miles, which makes this a well-served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.7 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 3 £37.80, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price across the UK according to this site's price guide, against the £54.85 cap. 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.

No Companies House company was matched to this trading name and postcode on 1 May 2026. That is common for MOT garages, many of which trade as sole traders or partnerships, and it says nothing about the station's authorisation, which comes from the DVSA list above.

The phone number DVSA lists for the station is 01726 812524. Opening hours, booking and prices are not part of the register; call before travelling.
