Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 8 of the 66 stations listed in Enfield hold Class 1 or 2, and 96 of the 638 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 65 Class 4 stations in Enfield are listed on the district page.
