About this station
Andy Sills Motorcycles is an MOT test station at Unit 1 White Heather Garage, Richmond Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, PO5 2LN, in Portsmouth (South East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S002975, 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: 7 of the 71 stations listed in Portsmouth hold Class 1 or 2, and 32 of the 208 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 67 Class 4 stations in Portsmouth are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Southsea MOT Test Centre in Southsea, 0.2 miles away (Class 4). 101 other stations sit within 5 miles and 208 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.8 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.
