Motorcycle MOTS
Motorcycle MOT testing has become increasingly strict in recent years and it can be difficult to keep up with ever changing legislation, as well as vehicle requirements and maintenance standards. So it is vital to take your motorbike to a reliable MOT examiner.
Getting an MOT needn’t be a stressful experience. At Pan Motorcycles we offer a free check and report where our testers examine the bike and give clear, constructive and realistic advice as to what is required for your safety.

Most motorbike MOT failures are due to simple issues such as lights not working, tyres outside of legal wear limits and horns not working which are all easily fixed.
Our examiner will look at your machine’s lighting equipment, steering (including suspension); brakes (including brake controls and brake performance); tyres and wheels; side cars; body and structure; offer an assessment of its corrosion; and take a close look at the fuel and exhaust system (including checks for deterioration, leaks and more). The examiner will check that the horn is of a reasonable volume, ensure the foot rests have an anti-slip surface and check that all major components are securely fitted.
If you suspect that your motorbike has some issues that may cause it to fail an MOT then don’t wait for your next test date. Bring it along to Pan Motorcycles and let our repair team carry out any essential maintenance for you.
