About this station
Motolab is an MOT test station at Unit 3, Cow Lane, Burnley, BB11 1NN, in Burnley, Lancashire (North West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V101870, 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: 5 of the 42 stations listed in Burnley hold Class 1 or 2, and 23 of the 191 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 40 Class 4 stations in Burnley are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Kwik Fit, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 68 other stations sit within 5 miles and 191 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.2 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.
