Why use Motorcycle Garages
Plenty of garages do car MOTs, but far fewer are approved to test motorcycles. Every centre listed here holds motorcycle approval on the DVSA list of active MOT test stations, so you will not ring round garages that cannot test your bike. Each listing shows the classes it is approved for and whether it is a bike specialist or a garage that also tests cars.
