About this station
Spares Direct Limited is an MOT test station at 861 Harrow Road, College Park, Harrow, London, NW10 5NH, in Hammersmith and Fulham (London). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V108731, 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: 8 of the 23 stations listed in Hammersmith and Fulham hold Class 1 or 2, and 123 of the 804 stations within 10 miles of this one do.
