Smiths Garage

Smiths Garage is an MOT test station at Calceby Lane, South Thoresby, LN13 0AT, in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire (East Midlands). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 8821BA, and is authorised for 3 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 15 of the 72 stations listed in East Lindsey hold Class 1 or 2, and 11 of the 41 stations within 10 miles of this one do. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 68 of the district's 72 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is T & L Garage Services Limited in Alford, 3.5 miles away (Classes 1, 2, 4 and 7). 3 other stations sit within 5 miles and 41 within 10 miles, which makes this a moderately served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 5.4 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price in Midlands 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.
