- Class 1 & 2: £29.65
- Motorcycle with sidecar: £37.50
Retests (re-examinations): I offer retests if the vehicle is brought back to the same test station and retested before the end of the next working day on one or more of the following items only (no additional fee: partial re-examination):

If the vehicle is left at the testing station for repair and is retested before the end of 10 working days following the day of the initial failure, then only a partial retest is needed for which no fee may be charged.
If the vehicle is removed from the testing station for repair and is returned for retest within 10 working days following the day of the initial failure, then only a partial retest is needed, and a partial retest fee may be charged. Only one partial re-examination is permissible per full examination.
- In any other case full re-examination: Full Fee.

Visit An Independent Workshop
For your MOT, why not visit an independent workshop in your local area? At Gas Junky Motorcycles I am proud to offer a professional yet personal service where I get to know my customers and their bikes. I want everyone who visits the workshop to feel part of the family and feel reassured that they are leaving their bike in the best hands. In addition, as the workshop is independent, I can also offer very competitive prices on all of my services.
I am also extremely lucky to be situated next door to Botanica Coffee Kitchen, one of Cheltenham’s finest cafés. So why not relax and enjoy a cup of dark roast or a bite of something very tasty while you’re waiting for your MOT to be completed?
