About this station
Macpherson Motorcycles Ltd is an MOT test station at Eagle Road, Langage Business Park, Plympton, Plymouth, PL7 5JY, in South Hams, Devon (South West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number S000099, 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: 9 of the 52 stations listed in South Hams hold Class 1 or 2, and 24 of the 154 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 49 Class 4 stations in South Hams are listed on the district page.
