Mot's @ Unit 23

Mot's @ Unit 23 is an MOT test station at Unit 23, Capital Valley Industrial Park, Rhymney, NP22 5PT, in Caerphilly (Wales). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V105405, and is authorised for 6 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3), cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4), private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats (Class 5) and goods vehicles between 3,000 and 3,500kg (Class 7).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 12 of the 71 stations listed in Caerphilly hold Class 1 or 2, and 17 of the 128 stations within 10 miles of this one do. For Class 7 goods vehicles (3,000 to 3,500kg, the long-wheelbase Transit and Sprinter bracket) it is one of 25 authorised stations in the district and one of 37 within 10 miles. It is one of 17 stations in Caerphilly authorised for Class 5 private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats, a class most garages cannot test; 16 stations within 10 miles hold it. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 5 stations in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 70 of the district's 71 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Lts Autocentre in Tredegar, 0.3 miles away (Classes 1, 2 and 4). 38 other stations sit within 5 miles and 128 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 2.2 miles.
