Townhead Garage

Townhead Garage is an MOT test station at Buccleugh Road, Sanquhar, DG4 6BX, in Dumfries and Galloway (Scotland). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S000431, 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: 11 of the 80 stations listed in Dumfries and Galloway hold Class 1 or 2, and 0 of the 2 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 77 Class 4 stations in Dumfries and Galloway are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Nithsdale Garage, 0.3 miles away (Class 4). 2 other stations sit within 5 miles and 2 within 10 miles, which makes this a thinly served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 11 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.
