Reg Dakin and Sons

Reg Dakin and Sons is an MOT test station at Whaley Service Station, Langwith, Mansfield, NG20 9HU, in Bolsover, Derbyshire (East Midlands). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 37259, and is authorised for 4 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 11 of the 30 stations listed in Bolsover hold Class 1 or 2, and 60 of the 247 stations within 10 miles of this one do.

The nearest listed alternative is Creswell MOT Centre in Worksop, 1.6 miles away (Classes 1, 2 and 4). 29 other stations sit within 5 miles and 247 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 2.6 miles.
