About this station

Ian Bell Motor Cycles Ltd is an MOT test station at 62 Rothesay Terrace, Bedlington, NE22 5PT, in Northumberland (North East). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 29112, 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: 19 of the 145 stations listed in Northumberland hold Class 1 or 2, and 9 of the 148 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 137 Class 4 stations in Northumberland are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Rae's MOT & Service Centre Ltd, 0.4 miles away (Class 4). 74 other stations sit within 5 miles and 148 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 0.7 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.
