About this business
A small MOT testing station in an Oxford suburb, carrying out car and light van MOTs plus basic repairs found at test, such as tyres, bulbs and brakes. It has traded since 2011 from leased premises and three people keep it going. Sales have risen annually to £230k and adjusted EBITDA from £12k to £20k, though profit remains small. With an asking price of £60k, a buyer gets a working test bay and a steady flow of local motorists, and the business could move to other premises if needed.
Key investment highlights
- Asking price £60k
- Run by three people
- Turnover up every year since 2021
- Trading in Oxford since 2011
Reason for sale
The owner is retiring and would like the station to stay open for local drivers.
