About this station

It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 87334, 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: 10 of the 52 stations listed in East Hampshire hold Class 1 or 2, and 10 of the 88 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 48 Class 4 stations in East Hampshire are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Osgoods Limited, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 17 other stations sit within 5 miles and 88 within 10 miles, which makes this a well-served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.3 miles.
