Motorbike MOT in Stoke-in-Teignhead

Stoke-in-Teignhead is a village on narrow lanes between Torquay and the Teign estuary, near Shaldon and Teignmouth. Lane riding means scuffed tyres, kerbed wheels and extra wear on suspension and steering parts, and a dented wheel rim is easy to pick up without noticing.

Automaster is an independent garage at Longcombe Cross near Totnes. Riders from the countryside around Stoke-in-Teignhead, and from Teignmouth, Newton Abbot and Milber, bring motorcycles to us, and this page sets out what to expect.

Why wheels and steering matter in a motorcycle MOT

Because narrow lanes tend to punish wheels, tyres and the front end, those are worth inspecting yourself before the test. Look over the rims for dents, the sidewalls for scuffs, and feel for play or roughness when you turn the bars.

• Wheel rims and tyre sidewalls
• Steering head and bars
• Fork and shock condition
• Brakes front and rear

After the motorbike MOT: advisories, fails and retests

Any defect is graded dangerous, major or minor, and advisories may be noted too. If something is dangerous, leave the bike parked until it is fixed.

Repairs can be carried out on site and the bike retested, though retest terms depend on the faults and timing. You can book online or by phone.
