MOT stations in towns near Colchester

Towns near Colchester with three or more MOT stations on the DVSA list. Distances are approximate, in a straight line from the middle of each town's stations, not by road.

About this data

  • No hours, prices or availability. The DVSA list records who is approved to test, and which classes. It says nothing about when a station is open or what it charges.
  • No caravan flag and no size limits. The list has Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 only. GOV.UK's fee table puts motor caravans in Class 4. A Class 7 listing does not show which individual vehicles a station can take.
  • Pins and distances are approximate. Each pin sits at the station's postcode, and distances are in a straight line, not by road.
  • It changes. DVSA publishes updates two or three times a year, so a station may have opened, closed or changed since 30 September 2026.
Source, grouping and licence

Source. The stations come from the DVSA list of active MOT test stations, published on 30 September 2026 and imported into Motorwise on 3 October 2026. We place each station under the town in its DVSA record, tidied up where the record gave a county or a typo.

Licence. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Motorwise is independent of DVSA. A listing is not a recommendation.
