About this station

Ride Dmc is an MOT test station at Unit 12 Heronden Road, Parkwood, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9YR, in Maidstone, Kent (South East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S004669, 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: 9 of the 67 stations listed in Maidstone hold Class 1 or 2, and 21 of the 149 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 62 Class 4 stations in Maidstone are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Motorpoint Limited in Maidstone, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 53 other stations sit within 5 miles and 149 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.2 miles.
