About this station

It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S003626, 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: 6 of the 56 stations listed in Ipswich hold Class 1 or 2, and 14 of the 113 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 51 Class 4 stations in Ipswich are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Kesgrave Tyre & Exhaust Centre, 0.3 miles away (Classes 4 and 7). 66 other stations sit within 5 miles and 113 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.6 miles.
The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65. 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.
