That is a statement about the cars, not about the 29 garages below. The anonymised test data has no station field, so we cannot and do not rank stations.
Before you book
The maximum fee for an MOT on a car is £54.85 (no VAT); stations can charge less, and many do. If your car fails, you get a free retest if you leave it at the station for repair and return within 10 working days, or for a listed set of items before the end of the next working day — the rules in full. The repair itself is priced per fault — see the repair price list, or use the calculator to add up your own items.
Station details come from the DVSA's active MOT test stations list, which DVSA published on 30 September 2026 and we pulled on 2026-10-31. DVSA refresh it quarterly, so a station that opened or closed since then may be missing or stale — what changed and when. We do not take payment for a listing and there is no way to buy a better position on this page.
