It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 3021AC, 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: 8 of the 65 stations listed in Canterbury hold Class 1 or 2, and 8 of the 81 stations within 10 miles of this one do.
