Carrington Motors

Carrington Motors is an MOT test station at 45A Caerleon Rd, Newport, NP19 7BW, in Newport (Wales). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 3430B2, and is authorised for 4 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 11 of the 62 stations listed in Newport hold Class 1 or 2, and 20 of the 162 stations within 10 miles of this one do. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 3 stations in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 60 of the district's 62 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Platinum Autocentre Ltd, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 78 other stations sit within 5 miles and 162 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.2 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 3 £37.80, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price in Wales 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.
