Adding a Class 4 MOT Test Bay to an existing workshop is a proven method to secure consistent, year-round customer footfall. While the initial capital investment may seem significant, returns can be realized quickly with proper planning and execution of MOT bay installations. Frequently, a tax-efficient lease purchase option can be utilized to manage costs and enhance cash flow.
With nearly 20 years of industry experience, we have consistently observed that workshops subcontracting MOT testing to external stations often forfeit substantial revenue due to vehicle transport time and various inefficiencies. A straightforward time-and-motion review typically reveals the extent of productive hours lost each week.
Once you've decided on installing a Class 4 MOT Test Bay, the first step is to evaluate the available space within your premises. As a guideline, we recommend a minimum bay length of about 9 metres and a clear height of at least 4 metres for lift-based systems. You can refer to the downloadable layouts at the bottom of this page to explore three common configurations for both lift and pit-based MOT bay installations.
The next step is to arrange a site visit from GETECH. This allows us to assess your premises and ensure you have full confidence in the feasibility of your project before making any significant investments. During the visit, your project manager will provide guidance on site-specific aspects such as workflow layout, reporting areas, customer viewing spaces, parking arrangements, and planning requirements.
In most instances, we can confirm on-site that a fully compliant Class 4 MOT Test Bay can be installed successfully, allowing the project to move forward with confidence.
Our comprehensive bay packages offer an end-to-end solution, which includes, when necessary, civil works, electrical installation, VT01 application support, and the first year of calibration and service coverage for your MOT testing equipment.

Stage one of securing approval for your Class 4 MOT Test Bay premises involves submitting the VT01 application. After all, why would you commit to a building lease and invest in MOT Bay installations along with the MOT Testing Equipment and training costs until you're 100% certain that the DVSA will approve your setup?

To obtain an MOT test station under the VT01 application, you'll need to secure planning permission or an exemption from your local council or a solicitor. This process can include the installation of a Class 4 MOT Test Bay. Our expertise can help you navigate these requirements, potentially saving you the costs associated with planning applications, especially for your MOT Bay Installations and the necessary MOT Testing Equipment.

We provide a variety of complete bay packages tailored for motorcycle testing, along with Class 4 MOT Test Bay options suitable for both lift and pit installations, including Class 4 & 7 test bays. Explore our range of MOT Bay Installations and MOT Testing Equipment by clicking below!

Modern MOT testing equipment captures a wealth of information about a vehicle in real time, but until recently, the results from the Class 4 MOT Test Bay had to be manually entered. By directly connecting the MOT testing equipment to the MOT system, we can significantly reduce errors and save time during MOT bay installations.

We not only supply complete Class 4 MOT Test Bay packages but also individual MOT testing equipment nationwide. You can read more on our own brand products, which include headlight testers, brake testers, and hydraulic play detection equipment, by clicking the link below.
