DVSA-approved MOT test station in Bristol. Site number 1596AY.
55 Richmond Road, St George, Bristol, BS5 8EL
This station is not approved for class 4, so it can’t test an ordinary car. Use a different garage in Bristol.
The maximum fee for a class 4 car MOT is £54.85 and £29.65 for a motorcycle; many garages charge less. You can book up to a month (minus a day) before the current certificate runs out and keep the same renewal date. Take the registration; you don’t need the V5C.
Details are from the DVSA register published 30 Sep 2026 (source). Phone numbers and ownership change, so ring first.
