Motorbike MOT in Ringmore

Ringmore is a small coastal village of narrow lanes, and walkers and holiday visitors mean slow riding and tight passing places for much of the year. Machines that live here brush the verge a lot, and the wear tends to show in tyres, wheel rims and suspension. Bigbury, Kingston, Bantham and Thurlestone are close by.

Automaster, an independent garage at Longcombe Cross near Totnes, tests motorcycles. We will take you through the checks that matter most for lane riding and what to do afterwards.

Which parts does a motorcycle MOT check after verge-brushing lanes?

Tyres, wheel rims and suspension are the first places local wear shows, and the MOT looks at them along with the rest of the bike.

• Tyres and wheels
• Steering and suspension
• Brakes
• Lights, indicators and horn
• Exhaust, frame, plate and VIN

Is it a Class 1 or Class 2 motorbike MOT?

Up to 200cc means Class 1, and over 200cc means Class 2. Please give us the make, model, registration and engine size when you get in touch so we can confirm.

What happens after a motorcycle MOT fail?

Faults are graded dangerous, major or minor. Never ride a bike with a dangerous defect until it has been put right.

Repairs can be carried out on site, followed by a retest. Terms depend on the faults and timing, so ask when booking, which you can do online or by phone.
