What the vehicle class means

Class 1 covers motorcycles with an engine size up to 200cc. Class 2 covers motorcycles over 200cc. A centre that only tests Class 4 cars is not automatically authorised to test motorcycles, so check the class badges and confirm with the station before booking.

Call the centre before travelling to confirm availability, current opening hours and whether an appointment is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a motorcycle MOT?
The current maximum fee is £29.65 for a standard motorcycle. The GOV.UK maximum for a motorcycle with a sidecar is £37.80. Test centres can charge less than the maximum.
What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2?
Class 1 covers motorcycles up to 200cc, while Class 2 covers motorcycles over 200cc. Both classes can appear on a station's authorisation.
Do all MOT garages test motorbikes?
No. Motorcycle testing requires Class 1 or Class 2 authorisation. Use the class filter on each town or city page and call the centre before travelling.
When does a motorcycle need its first MOT?
Most motorcycles need their first MOT by the third anniversary of registration and then every year. Different rules can apply to exempt historic vehicles.
