About this station

Phoenix South West Limited is an MOT test station at Unit 1, Easton Engineering Works, Easton, Wells, BA5 1EH, in Somerset (South West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 82010, 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: 48 of the 312 stations listed in Somerset hold Class 1 or 2, and 9 of the 49 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 294 Class 4 stations in Somerset are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is D J Simpson Engineering Ltd, 1.0 miles away (Classes 3, 4, 5 and 7). 14 other stations sit within 5 miles and 49 within 10 miles, which makes this a well-served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 2.3 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.
