About this station
Crown Motorcycles is an MOT test station at 297 Richmond Road, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2 5QU, in Richmond upon Thames (London). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V105260, 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 33 stations listed in Richmond upon Thames hold Class 1 or 2, and 106 of the 747 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 29 Class 4 stations in Richmond upon Thames are listed on the district page.
The nearest listed alternative is Vetech Motor Services Limited, at the same postcode (Class 4). 170 other stations sit within 5 miles and 747 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.0 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.
