About this station

C & B Mann is an MOT test station at R/O 70 The Green, Kings Norton, Birmingham, B38 8RU, in Birmingham (West Midlands). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 2173A0, 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: 24 of the 313 stations listed in Birmingham hold Class 1 or 2, and 43 of the 611 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 307 Class 4 stations in Birmingham are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Rik Fit Garage, 0.1 miles away (Classes 4 and 7). 116 other stations sit within 5 miles and 611 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.4 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.

The phone number DVSA lists for the station is 0121 458 3074. Opening hours, booking and prices are not part of the register; call before travelling.
