About this station

East End Garage is an MOT test station at East Street, Alford, LN13 9EH, in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire (East Midlands). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 57875, 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: 15 of the 72 stations listed in East Lindsey hold Class 1 or 2, and 8 of the 23 stations within 10 miles of this one do. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 6 stations in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 68 of the district's 72 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Hall Motor Services Ltd in Bilsby, 0.6 miles away (Class 4). 5 other stations sit within 5 miles and 23 within 10 miles, which makes this a moderately served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 4.5 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 3 £37.80, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price in Midlands according to this site's price guide, against the £54.85 cap. 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.
