About this station
Dearden Motorcycles Limited is an MOT test station at Unit 5, Hardley Industrial Estate, Lime Kiln Road, Hardley, SO45 3NQ, in New Forest, Hampshire (South East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S001651, 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: 11 of the 69 stations listed in New Forest hold Class 1 or 2, and 32 of the 246 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 67 Class 4 stations in New Forest are listed on the district page.
