Questions we get asked

Straight answers. If yours is not here, message us.

How much is a motorbike MOT?

The DVSA sets a statutory maximum of £29.65 for a motorcycle MOT, and £37.80 for a motorcycle with a sidecar. That is a cap rather than a fixed price, so a garage can charge less but never more. The fee is exempt from VAT.

How long does a motorbike MOT take?

Around 45 minutes for most bikes. Message us on WhatsApp before you come and we will tell you honestly whether you can wait for it that day.

What happens if my bike fails its MOT?

You get the failure items in writing and a quote before any work starts. Most failures are lights, tyres or brakes and can be sorted the same day. If the bike stays with us for the repair, the retest is free.

Can I ride my motorbike without an MOT?

Only to a pre-booked MOT appointment or to a garage for repairs. Otherwise it is an offence and your insurance will usually be invalid.

Do you MOT scooters and mopeds?

Yes. Class 1 covers bikes up to 200cc and Class 2 covers everything above, and the maximum fee is the same for both.
