About this station

It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S005440, 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: 12 of the 80 stations listed in Teignbridge hold Class 1 or 2, and 22 of the 132 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 74 Class 4 stations in Teignbridge are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Auto Low Centre, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 76 other stations sit within 5 miles and 132 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.2 miles.
