Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 5 of the 39 stations listed in Folkestone and Hythe hold Class 1 or 2, and 4 of the 55 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 37 Class 4 stations in Folkestone and Hythe are listed on the district page.
