About this station

It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S004457, 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: 17 of the 106 stations listed in Plymouth hold Class 1 or 2, and 24 of the 154 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 96 Class 4 stations in Plymouth are listed on the district page.
