About this station

Gmec Motorcycles is an MOT test station at Former Hare And Hounds, Main Street, Staxton, Scarborough, YO12 4TA, in North Yorkshire, Lancashire (Yorkshire and The Humber). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S001840, 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: 47 of the 343 stations listed in North Yorkshire hold Class 1 or 2, and 4 of the 49 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 330 Class 4 stations in North Yorkshire are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Aucklands Garage, 0.0 miles away (Class 4). 15 other stations sit within 5 miles and 49 within 10 miles, which makes this a well-served area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 2.7 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.

No Companies House company was matched to this trading name and postcode on 1 May 2026. That is common for MOT garages, many of which trade as sole traders or partnerships, and it says nothing about the station's authorisation, which comes from the DVSA list above.

The phone number DVSA lists for the station is 01944 711596. Opening hours, booking and prices are not part of the register; call before travelling.
