What to know

MOT for bikes

Motorcycle MOTs use different classes and fee caps from cars. Confirm the station is authorised for your class before you book in Swansea.

Workshop vs car garage

A good car garage is not automatically a good bike garage. Look for two-wheel experience, parts lines for common marques, and clear advice on chain, sprockets and tyre age.

Scooters and commuting

Urban scooters see stop-start wear. Ask about brake pads, belts/clutches and storage advice for coastal or wet Welsh weather.

Common questions

Can any MOT station test my bike?
Only if they are authorised for the relevant motorcycle class. Always ask.
Do e-motorcycles follow the same rules?
Road-legal electric motorcycles still need the right MOT class where applicable. Confirm with the station.
