Motorbike MOT in Hazelwood

Hazelwood is a small rural hamlet in the River Avon valley area, reached by narrow lanes. A vehicle from here is often a working one with a lot of country miles behind it, and the same can be true of a motorbike that gets used for everyday trips.

Automaster is an independent garage at Longcombe Cross near Totnes. We test motorcycles, and riders from the surrounding countryside and nearby places such as Loddiswell, Kingsbridge, Modbury and South Brent make the trip.

A rural rider's guide to the motorcycle MOT

Think of the test as a regular safety check, not a service. A bike that covers plenty of lane miles benefits from having every item looked at by someone else once a year.

• Brakes and tyres
• Wheels, steering and suspension
• Lights, indicators and horn
• Chain, belt or shaft drive
• Exhaust, frame and registration plate

Which class of motorbike MOT applies?

Motorcycles up to 200cc are Class 1 and those over 200cc are Class 2. When you contact us, tell us the make, model, registration and engine size so we can confirm the class.

The first MOT is due three years after first registration and then yearly.

What happens if the motorbike MOT is failed?

Defects are graded dangerous, major or minor, with advisories for anything to watch. A dangerous defect means do not ride the bike until it has been repaired.

Repairs can be done on site and the bike retested, with retest terms depending on the faults and timing, so ask when booking. You can book online or by phone.
