About this station

Swallow Motor Company Limited is an MOT test station at 314 Eastcote Lane, South Harrow, HA2 9AH, in Harrow (London). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 19484, 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: 5 of the 40 stations listed in Harrow hold Class 1 or 2, and 84 of the 606 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 39 Class 4 stations in Harrow are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Motor-Inn Limited in South Ruislip, 0.4 miles away (Class 4). 220 other stations sit within 5 miles and 606 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.6 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65. 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.
