About this station
Doubletake Motorcycles Ltd is an MOT test station at Bond Street, Northam, Southampton, SO14 5QA, in Southampton (South East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 1ALY47, 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: 6 of the 83 stations listed in Southampton hold Class 1 or 2, and 31 of the 243 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 80 Class 4 stations in Southampton are listed on the district page.
