where to MOT in central london

any suggestions on this will be very welcomed

it’s the second time i am doing mot for mt 50cc vespa et2

last year i took it to a garage and paid over £150 for the service and mot…but there is no way to know if all those repairs were indeed nedeed!

Should i just try to take it to a MOT issuing garage?

Thanks!!!

Try Supreme Motorcycles in Kennington Road near the Imperial War Museum behind Waterloo Station. The MOT’s are usually booked up well in advance so give them a bell. An old no nonsense family run firm working on everything from British classics to modern Vespas as far as I can see from my limited dealings with them.

I get mine MOTd and serviced at Scooterworks (67-68 Enid Street SE16 3RA 0207 2377223). They deal primarily with geared scoots, but I’m sure I’ve seen ETs there. Give them a call. Very friendly and trustworthy. They have a shop behind Waterloo station, but the workshop is in Bermondsey.

chazbikes (Gt suffolk street) is another option - near southwark tube so easy to get in and out to. I’ve always had a good job for a fair price from them.

i wouldnt use em for mot’s, if anything is wrong with bike for mot they will find it and fail you or you will have to pay out to fix it.

Now you will say if it is wrong it should fail etc but wot i mean is stuff like bikes with import headlights etc, any decent place will stick a bit of tape over the offending light direction or you can buy deflectors for this but not chas bikes.

Depending where you are m8 i use roger hollingshead at catford.

get an mot checklist and basically look over your bike yourself, basic stuff really lights, horn, mirrors wheels etc etc and just take it to a mot place for just an mot, cost about £25.

Wot bout westzed, dont he work in a sc**ter shop?

London Scooters (off Bermondsey St) did good work for both me and the Mrs recently (one of us had a service, the other had an MOT). I think they’re on hols until end of this month (but that’s only a few days, anyway). Did my MOT quicker than the time it took me to walk to the nearest cafe, have a cuppa, and walk back.

Hi mate

I am an Mot tester in nw london.We dont repair bikes so you will get a proper mot and not a job sheet.

Pm me and i will send you the details.

Don’t use chazbikes! I’ll go out of my way to avoid these cowboys. After agreeing one price on the phone for some repairs, the bill was double the agreed.

+1 for rodger but he is no longer at catford since his bike accident at brighton speed trials he is now at clock house sydenham;)

Essential Rubber - Bromley by Bow

The Supreme Motorcycles I mentioned have now closed and the site is where Chazbikes now operate from.
