Rare Opportunity – Established High Volume MOT & Automotive Centre in West London

Short summary

Rare Opportunity – Established High-Volume MOT & Automotive Centre in West London

Established, fully operational MOT and automotive centre in Hounslow, West London. Approx. 12,700 sq ft facility with 7 vehicle lifts, fully equipped MOT testing facility, substantial workshop infrastructure and established customer base. Rare opportunity to acquire a ready-to-operate automotive platform with significant expansion potential opposite Hounslow railway station.

The business operates from an impressive workshop and parking of approximately 12,700m², offering significant operational capacity and further expansion potential.

The premises are extensively equipped, including 7 two-post vehicle lifts, a dedicated MOT testing lane/pit with Boston MOT equipment, diagnostic equipment and a comprehensive range of workshop facilities.

The business currently provides MOT testing, servicing, mechanical repairs, diagnostics, vehicle electrical repairs, air-conditioning and EV/hybrid services.

The MOT station carries out approximately 3,000 MOT tests annually, with approximately 70% cars and 30% vans, providing an established customer flow and substantial opportunity for additional repair and servicing revenue.

A major advantage of the premises is the extensive customer and administrative accommodation. Facilities include a professional reception area, customer waiting area, multiple office/work areas, staff kitchen and WC facilities, providing an infrastructure considerably beyond that of a typical independent garage.

The business also benefits from an excellent West London location directly opposite Hounslow railway station, providing outstanding visibility and convenient transport access, with Heathrow and the wider West London market within easy reach.

The premises are occupied on a long-term leasehold basis 16 years, subject to confirmation of the lease terms and any required landlord consent.

There is considerable scope for an incoming operator to increase turnover through greater workshop utilisation and expansion into fleet servicing, commercial vehicle maintenance, tyres, diagnostics, EV/hybrid repairs, air-conditioning, bodywork and other automotive services.

The premises, existing infrastructure and established trading operation make this particularly suitable for an existing garage group, MOT operator, dealership group, fleet maintenance company or automotive investor seeking an established West London site.

Reason for sale: Owner pursuing other business and investment interests.

Further financial information, equipment inventory and operational information can be made available to serious purchasers following initial qualification.

Established garage/MOT operators • Automotive groups • Dealership groups • Fleet maintenance businesses • Automotive investors • Existing repair groups seeking London expansion • Experienced owner-operators

Reason for Sale
