What’s checked in a motorcycle MOT

The MOT makes sure your bike meets the legal road safety and environmental standards. The test covers:

Brakes
Lights, horn and electrics
Steering and suspension
Wheels, tyres and wheel bearings
Frame and general condition
Exhaust, emissions and noise
Fuel system
Registration plate and frame number

When is my bike’s MOT due?

A motorcycle needs its first MOT three years after it was first registered, then every year after that. You can have it tested up to a month (minus a day) before your current MOT runs out and still keep the same renewal date.

How much is a motorcycle MOT?

A motorcycle MOT at MSC costs £29.65.

What if my bike fails?

We’ll show you exactly what failed and give you a clear quote to put it right. If we repair the fail here, the retest is free within 10 working days.

Due a service too? Book your motorcycle service at the same time and save yourself a trip.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the service. After trying various garages over the years and getting various levels of service and results, I thought I would try MSC motorcycles. I recently bought a Victory Cross Country as a non runner. MSC collected the bike for me and within a week had it running fine with a full MOT at a reasonable price.
I would definitely recommend.
