About this station

Clydach Autocentre is an MOT test station at Unit 4, Clydach Wharf, Players Industrial Estate, Clydach, Swansea, SA6 5AT, in Swansea (Wales). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V109420, and is authorised for 4 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 12 of the 95 stations listed in Swansea hold Class 1 or 2, and 39 of the 169 stations within 10 miles of this one do. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 4 stations in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 92 of the district's 95 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Taylors MOT and Service Centre, 0.5 miles away (Class 4). 87 other stations sit within 5 miles and 169 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.8 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 3 £37.80, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price in Wales according to this site's price guide, against the £54.85 cap. 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.

No Companies House company was matched to this trading name and postcode on 1 May 2026. That is common for MOT garages, many of which trade as sole traders or partnerships, and it says nothing about the station's authorisation, which comes from the DVSA list above.
