Why Your Bike Needs an MOT

Your motorcycle isn't just transport... it's freedom on two wheels. But that freedom comes with responsibility.

An MOT isn't bureaucratic nonsense. It's what stands between you and a catastrophic brake failure on the M25. At Old Forge Garage Belvedere, we've seen bikes that look gorgeous but have suspension that's basically held together with hope and cable ties.

Don't be that rider.

What We Check During Your Motorcycle MOT

Safety Critical Items:

• Lights and electrical systems

• Frame and chassis condition

Legal Requirements:

We know bikes inside out. From vintage Triumphs to modern Yamahas, we've tested them all.
