Donnington Wood Mot Test Centre

Assessed in MOT centres in Telford

Unknown

St Matthews Church Hall, Church Road, Donnington, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 7PT · Service area: Donnington, Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: this centre suits you if you want a test from a place that does not also sell repairs, backed by one of the round's highest ratings [1][2]. We rate the test-only model and the review score as strengths because both are documented. Confirm the test fee and the retest terms by phone before booking [1].

Sourced from the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders, on the date shown.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • You see 4.9 from 320 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026, for a centre that only tests [1][2].

  • The site says it has nothing to gain in failing a vehicle because it only does MOTs [1].

Limitations

  • No company record or trading-years statement was found, so history scores as insufficient evidence [1].

  • No prices or insurance details are published — both stay neutral rather than counting against it [1].
