About this station
Chadwell Motorcycles is an MOT test station at 107 Riverview, Chadwell St Mary, Grays, Essex, RM16 4BD, in Thurrock (East of England). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 0496AL, 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: 9 of the 46 stations listed in Thurrock hold Class 1 or 2, and 51 of the 286 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 44 Class 4 stations in Thurrock are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Star MOT in Chadwell St Mary, 0.6 miles away (Classes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7). 71 other stations sit within 5 miles and 286 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.1 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.
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.
