A long-standing MOT test station in Woodthorpe, York, is being sold for £435,000 as its owner of 25 years plans to retire.

A freehold MOT test and vehicle repair station in Moorcroft Road, Woodthorpe, York, is on the market for £435,000. The current owner has managed the business for more than 25 years and is retiring. The agent, Barry Crux & Co, describes it as rare for such a business to come to market freehold, noting it has built a strong customer base and consistently generated significant turnover and profit.

The business occupies a small commercial centre in the densely populated residential area of Woodthorpe. It comprises a reception and office area with customer seating, two workstations, extra storage, a staff kitchen and separate toilet facilities. There are three workshop bays, including two workshop and servicing bays and a central MOT bay, all equipped with fully serviced and documented vehicle lifts. The yard includes a separate tyre-fitting shed with a tyre machine and wheel balancer, an additional storage shed, and 13 parking spaces in the forecourt with space for three more vehicles in the yard.

The sale presents an opportunity for a new owner to expand the business further. There is also potential to redevelop the site for other purposes, subject to securing necessary planning permissions. Additional financial details will be disclosed to potential buyers after they have viewed the property.
