Class 7 MOTs and van servicing in Southampton

Fewer garages can test Class 7 vehicles. These are the larger vans and light goods vehicles from 3,000kg to 3,500kg design gross weight. Badminstons tests them on site at our Hythe MOT station. We also handle Class 4 vans, Class 5 minibuses, and the servicing and repairs that keep business vehicles on the road.

Which MOT class is my van?

VehicleMOT class
Goods vans up to 3,000kg design gross weightClass 4
Goods vans from 3,000kg to 3,500kg design gross weightClass 7
Minibuses with 9 to 12 passenger seatsClass 4
Minibuses with 13 to 16 passenger seatsClass 5

The design gross weight is on the plate inside the driver’s door or under the bonnet. Not sure? Tell us the make and model when you book and we’ll check. More on all classes on our MOT test centre in Hythe page.

Van & Commercial Questions

Do you test vans over 3,500kg?

No. Vehicles over 3,500kg are tested at heavy vehicle testing stations, not at garages like ours.

Can you MOT my minibus?

Yes. Minibuses with 9 to 12 passenger seats are Class 4 and those with 13 to 16 are Class 5. We test both.
