Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 8 of the 37 stations listed in Sevenoaks hold Class 1 or 2, and 59 of the 359 stations within 10 miles of this one do. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 36 of the district's 37 stations share.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £35-50 is the typical Class 4 car price in South East according to this site's price guide, against the £54.85 cap. 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.
