Motorbike MOT in Holne

Holne sits on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, where steep hills, narrow lanes, moorland roads and cattle grids are part of every journey. Those conditions work a bike hard, and an MOT is the regular reality check on whether it is coping.

Automaster is the independent garage at Longcombe Cross near Totnes where Holne riders can book motorcycles in for testing. Below we cover the test, the class question and what happens after a fail.

Motorbike MOT checks that matter on hilly lanes

With steep hills and cattle grids on the route, a few areas are worth your attention before test day. Hard use on gradients and rough surfaces can wear parts faster than gentle town riding.

• Brake performance
• Tyre and wheel condition
• Steering and suspension
• Lights, indicators and horn

Class 1 and Class 2 motorcycle MOT

Up to 200cc is Class 1; over 200cc is Class 2. When you book, give us the make, model, registration and engine size and we will confirm the class. If you have changed the engine or are unsure of its size, ask us before booking.

What happens when a motorbike MOT finds a fault?

Defects are graded dangerous, major or minor, with advisories alongside. Do not ride a bike with a dangerous defect until it is repaired. We can repair faults on site and retest, and retest terms depend on the faults and timing, so ask when you book online or by phone.
