About this station

It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S004332, 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 23 stations listed in Hammersmith and Fulham hold Class 1 or 2, and 136 of the 867 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 18 Class 4 stations in Hammersmith and Fulham are listed on the district page.
