About this station

RN Motorcycles is an MOT test station at Church Street, Paignton, TQ3 3AF, in Torbay (South West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number V103641, 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 50 stations listed in Torbay hold Class 1 or 2, and 20 of the 117 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 48 Class 4 stations in Torbay are listed on the district page.

The nearest listed alternative is Paddock Motors (Torbay) Limited in Devon, 0.3 miles away (Class 4). 58 other stations sit within 5 miles and 117 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.
