About this station

Swift Services is an MOT test station at 34 Marlin Square, Abbots Langley, Watford, WD5 0EG, in Three Rivers, Hertfordshire (East of England). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 15568, and is authorised for 4 of the six MOT test classes: motorcycles of any engine size (Class 1 and 2), three-wheelers up to 450kg (Class 3) and cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4).

Motorcycle testing is the distinguishing authorisation here: 4 of the 17 stations listed in Three Rivers hold Class 1 or 2, and 29 of the 247 stations within 10 miles of this one do. Three-wheeler (Class 3) testing is rarer still, with 1 station in the district. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 17 of the district's 17 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Abbots Garage, 0.1 miles away (Class 4). 83 other stations sit within 5 miles and 247 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.4 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 1 £29.65, Class 2 £29.65, Class 3 £37.80, Class 4 £54.85. Garages can charge less and most do: £30-45 is the typical Class 4 car price across the UK 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.

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 01923 260429. Opening hours, booking and prices are not part of the register; call before travelling.
