About this station

Platinum is an MOT test station at Meridian Business Park, Trowbridge, BA14 0BJ, in Wiltshire (South West). It appears in DVSA's Active MOT test stations dataset dated 26 February 2026 under site number 1ALZ49 (the same premises is also listed under 1ALZ50 and 1ALZ51 and 1ALZ52), and is authorised for 3 of the six MOT test classes: cars, light vans and motor caravans up to 3,000kg (Class 4), private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats (Class 5) and goods vehicles between 3,000 and 3,500kg (Class 7).

For Class 7 goods vehicles (3,000 to 3,500kg, the long-wheelbase Transit and Sprinter bracket) it is one of 66 authorised stations in the district and one of 27 within 10 miles. It is one of 33 stations in Wiltshire authorised for Class 5 private passenger vehicles with 13 or more seats, a class most garages cannot test; 12 stations within 10 miles hold it. It also tests Class 4 cars and light vans, the class 226 of the district's 235 stations share.

The nearest listed alternative is Halfords Autocentres Ltd, 0.8 miles away (Class 4). 40 other stations sit within 5 miles and 113 within 10 miles, which makes this a dense area for MOT choice. The five nearest stations lie within 1.5 miles.

The DVSA statutory maximum fee applies to every class this station tests: Class 4 £54.85, Class 5 £59.55 to £80.65, Class 7 £58.60. 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. Class 7 van tests typically run £40-55 against the £58.60 cap. Confirm the price with the station before booking; prices are not part of the DVSA register.
