Motorcycle MOT Testing
MOT Testing for Every Bike, Done Properly
Bartlett Automotive carries out motorcycle MOT testing alongside our prestige vehicle servicing and riders across Cambridgeshire trust us to get it right. Our experienced Technicians understand what a thorough, quality MOT inspection demands and we bring that same attention to detail to every bike that comes through the door, regardless of make or model.
A motorcycle MOT isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s a safety check that matters and we treat it that way. You’ll get an honest assessment, clear communication about anything that needs attention and straightforward advice with no pressure and no surprises.
If we spot anything worth flagging during the inspection, whether it affects the pass or not, we’ll tell you in plain language. You leave knowing exactly where your bike stands.
Named Expertise.
Not just experience.
Andy and Val are our Accredited Motorcycle MOT Technicians at our Peterborough branch. Both hold the specific accreditation required to carry out motorcycle MOT testing, so when you drop your bike off, you know exactly who’s looking after it and why they’re qualified to do so.
Motorcycle MOT Technician
Andy
Andy is a Senior Technician at our Peterborough branch and motorcycles are very much his thing. A keen biker himself, Andy brings a genuine passion for bikes to every inspection he carries out. That personal interest, combined with his hands-on technical experience, means your motorcycle is in the hands of someone who actually understands what they're looking at and cares about getting it right.
Motorcycle MOT Technician
Val
Val is a Senior Technician with 10 years at Bartlett and plenty of that time spent with motorcycles. He's one of those people who genuinely makes the place better just by being in it. If Val gives you a nod when you drop your bike off, don't worry — in Bulgarian that actually means no. His work, however, always says yes.

Sound Familiar?
IS YOUR MOTORCYCLE GETTING THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES?
Riding is one of life’s great pleasures. The experience of maintaining your bike should be straightforward too.
Many riders in Cambridgeshire don’t realise a trusted, independent MOT testing centre is right on their doorstep.
Don’t pay more than you need to.
Your Bike Needs Someone Who Knows Bikes
A motorcycle MOT has specific requirements. You need a Technician who understands what they're looking at, not someone who tests bikes occasionally between car jobs.
You're Just a Job Number
High-volume MOT centres move quickly and communicate little. You deserve honest advice and a Technician who actually takes an interest in your bike.
"I didn't know somewhere like this existed"
One of the most common things we hear from first-time customers. Once riders find us, they tend to come back.
Main Dealer Pricing Isn't Necessary
At a franchise dealer, a significant portion of what you pay funds the building, the brand and the overhead. At Bartlett Automotive, you pay for the expertise. That's it.

What Our Customers Say
Trusted by Motorcycle Owners
Across Cambridgeshire
I phoned at short notice for a motorcycle MOT and was pleasantly surprised that they fitted me in just a few days later. When I arrived the guy was super-friendly and professional and I was able to work whilst they did the MOT.
It failed….on not having a rear reflector, so they fitted one, with no charge!
Many places would have sent me away to get it done, to find one, fit it and not even charge me is exemplary!!
Highly recommended!
