Location
This well-established MOT testing station and service garage occupies a prominent position on a busy trade estate in Nottingham, benefiting from excellent visibility and strong passing trade in one of the area’s most active motor trade corridors.
The premises sit within easy reach of major road connections, with a well-established motor trade neighbour directly opposite that generates consistent complementary footfall. The location is well known within the local trade community and benefits from a loyal customer base built over 15 years of continuous operation.

Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this well-established, fully equipped MOT testing station, service and tyre centre located in Nottingham. The business has traded continuously for over 15 years, building a strong reputation and a loyal local customer base. The vendor is now offering the business for sale due to other business interests that require more of his time.
The garage holds DVSA Class 4 MOT approval, a genuinely scarce licensed asset that takes months to obtain and cannot simply be replicated by a competitor. MOT approval transfers to the buyer on completion, and all connected equipment is already operational and meets the required standard. A short administrative lead time of approximately two weeks may apply during which MOT testing is paused. The workshop is comprehensively equipped across all areas, meaning a buyer walks in on day one with everything in place and no further capital outlay required.
The business offers a comprehensive range of services including Class 4 MOT testing, full and minor servicing, tyres, 4-wheel alignment, wheel balancing, diagnostics, welding and general mechanical repairs. The premises benefit from an excellent trade estate position with a well-known motor trade retailer directly opposite, providing consistent passing trade and complementary footfall. Turnover reached £165,456 in FY2025, up materially on the prior year, and 2026 is trading ahead of that. Full financial information is available to verified parties under NDA.
The vendor is committed to a full and structured handover period to ensure operational continuity. This is a genuine turnkey opportunity: DVSA licensed, fully equipped, profitable and ready to trade from day one. An early viewing is highly recommended.
