The MOT exemption extension comes to an end on the 1st of August and so now could be a good time to investigate installing an MOT bay, or updating an existing facility.

RS Workshop Equipment is a leading supplier in the field of motorcycle MOT equipment and one of a few companies in the industry who can advise on, design, equip and service a fully functioning motorcycle and scooter MOT station.

The Peterborough-based firm has been supplying and installing Class 1 and 2 Motorcycle MOT equipment for around 20 years. Its vast range of experience has come from more than 600 successful MOT Bay installations. RS can assist by surveying the location, providing drawings to support any application and then continuing with a first-rate installation and calibration service to ensure the MOT station is compliant and ready to use.



Every motorcycle owner has a duty of care to themselves and other road users by ensuring their motorbike is kept in tip top condition, and most law-abiding riders will understand that they need their machine to pass an annual MOT inspection. Anyone found without the MOT certificate can be fined up to £1000 and will have their insurance invalidated.

Given that the motorcycle/scooter owner is obliged to obtain this yearly certification, offering MOTs can offer an additional source of revenue to a dealership, and that’s not just from the profit of the inspection itself, which typically costs £29.65, rising to £37.80 with a sidecar combination. Once the rider is welcomed into the dealer’s showroom/workshop, there is potentially the opportunity to unlock an additional revenue stream by introducing the rider to other services/products on offer.

From as little as £55 per week over three years, a savvy dealer could become a fully-fledged MOT Testing Station.
