What the Redbridge Stations Can Test
Of the 40 listed stations, 39 test Class 4 (cars, light vans up to 3,000kg, motor caravans and taxis), which makes a car MOT the easiest test to place in Redbridge. Motorcycle riders have 4 options; drivers of 3,000-3,500kg vans have 7; operators of 13-seat-plus passenger vehicles have 5; three-wheelers can be tested at 0. 1 station is a specialist that does not test cars at all.
