It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V108384, and is authorised for 5 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4), private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats (Class 5) and goods vehicles between 3,000 and 3,500kg (Class 7).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 7 of the 79 stations listed in East Devon hold Class 1 or 2, and 14 of the 129 stations within 10 miles of this one do.
