Motorvation Northampton, independent MOT and mechanical garage in Northampton

Motorvation Northampton is an independent garage located on Rothersthorpe Road, in the Rothersthorpe Avenue Industrial Estate in Northampton.

MOT testing for cars, vans and motorcycles

The centre carries out MOT tests with DVSA-approved equipment for cars, light vans and motorcycles, including Class 4 and specific motorcycle testing. The technicians check compliance with legal safety and environmental standards. If the vehicle fails the test, the garage offers repairs to get it back on the road, with prior appointment and a test time that the website itself usually states as between 45 and 60 minutes, extendable if additional work is required.

Tyres: brands, fitting and associated services

Motorvation supplies and fits tyres for all makes and models, with same-day fitting available for many sizes. The catalogue includes premium, budget, electric vehicle and all-season tyres, for cars, vans and 4x4s.

Alongside tyres, the garage provides complementary services: free fitting, wheel balancing, TPMS servicing, puncture repairs and advanced digital wheel alignment. The website also includes informative content on reading tyre markings, checking pressure, maintenance, choosing tyres according to use, EU tyre labelling, run-flat tyres and seasonal behaviour.
