Motorbike MOT in Heathfield

Heathfield sits between Newton Abbot and Bovey Tracey, beside the A38 and A382, with an industrial estate and busy through traffic. Plenty of vehicles rack up steady mileage here, whether for work or commuting, and a motorcycle used the same way deserves the same yearly attention.

Automaster is an independent garage at Longcombe Cross near Totnes. We test motorcycles, and we will tell you plainly what we find. This page covers what the test looks at, how the classes differ and what to expect if something needs fixing. Riders from Liverton, Hexworth and Bickington are welcome too.

Commuting by bike: what the motorcycle MOT looks at

Regular road miles tend to show up in the consumable parts, so these are the areas to think about before your test.

• Tyres and wheels
• Brakes
• Chain, belt or shaft drive
• Lights, indicators and horn
• Exhaust and frame

Does my bike need a Class 1 or Class 2 motorcycle MOT?

Class 1 applies to motorcycles up to 200cc and Class 2 to those over 200cc. Give us the make, model, registration and engine size when you get in touch and we will confirm which applies.

Repairs and retests after a motorbike MOT

Faults are recorded as dangerous, major or minor, with advisories alongside. A dangerous defect means the bike must not be ridden until repaired. Repairs can be done on site and the bike retested, with terms that depend on the faults and timing, so ask when booking.

Booking is available online or by phone.
