Freehold MOT Testing Centre and Vehicle Repair Garage For Sale Preston
Sovereign Business Transfer are delighted to offer for sale this established MOT testing centre and vehicle repairs business, available on a freehold basis.
Occupying a prominent corner position on Ord Road in Ashton-on-Ribble, just off the busy Blackpool Road (A5085)and opposite Tulketh Mill, this site presents an exceptional opportunity for both owner-operators in the motor trade and developers seeking a versatile and well-located plot.
The garage has been successfully trading for over 43 years, and has been under the current owners’ careful stewardship for the past five years, during which time it has maintained a loyal customer base and steady levels of trade. The business currently offers Class 1, 2, 4 & 7 MOTs, vehicle servicing, diagnostics, tyre fitting, and general repairs. The premises benefit from a three-bay layout, complete with a Snap-On automated MOT test lane, two-post and four-post lifts, and additional equipment for ongoing trade.
The business is currently operated by the owners and very much run at a pace to suit their lifestyle. We are advised by our client that the turnover is in the region of £160,000 to £170,000, with no additional staffing. There is significant scope to grow the business further with extended trading hours, additional staff, or by expanding services.
The freehold site extends to approximately 3,000 square feet, and includes a substantial forecourt, office, WC, off-road parking, and ample workshop space. The site offers clear potential for expansion or redevelopment, and may suit a residential scheme or extended commercial use, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions.
This business would ideally suit a qualified mechanic or investor looking to acquire a reputable, income-generating operation with tangible property value and long-term development potential.
The reason for sale is that the current owners are looking for a change in direction and to move toward semi-retirement.
All interested parties will be required to provide proof of funds prior to viewings being arranged. Viewing is strictly by appointment only. For further information, contact Sovereign Business Transfer on 0161 486 1958.
