About this station
David Jones Newtown is an MOT test station at Pool Rd, Newtown, SY16 1DD, in Powys (Wales). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 43848, 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: 15 of the 90 stations listed in Powys hold Class 1 or 2, and 1 of the 19 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 88 Class 4 stations in Powys are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Grooms Garage Ltd, 0.1 miles away (Classes 4, 5 and 7). 14 other stations sit within 5 miles and 19 within 10 miles, which makes this a well-served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.4 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.
