About this business
Opened in 2023 on a London retail park, this MOT centre tests cars and light vans and handles the small repairs that follow a failed test. It owns its unit, which is included, and three people run it. Turnover has grown every year, from £164k to £220k, but adjusted EBITDA is only £20k, leaving a slim margin. Net assets of £71k exceed the £60k asking price. A buyer gets a London freehold unit and a test centre that could add servicing to lift profit.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold unit included
- Turnover up from £164k to £220k
