Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 7 of the 61 stations listed in Tendring hold Class 1 or 2, and 10 of the 79 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 57 Class 4 stations in Tendring are listed on the district page.
