Summary - MOT Station, Ipswich IP1 2LL
1 bed 1 bath Garages
Turnkey Class 4 & 7 MOT business with expansion potential and included equipment.
Extremely large workshop with very high ceilings
A rare commercial opportunity in Ipswich: a large, fully fitted MOT centre (Class 4 & 7) offering long, high-ceiling workshop space and all major fixtures and equipment included in the sale. The site sits in a visible urban location with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, supporting digital bookings and customer communications. Current trading is run by two partners with limited hours, leaving clear scope to increase turnover by expanding opening times and hiring additional technicians.
The property is leasehold and marketed as a turnkey operation, ideal for a mechanic or investor seeking an operating business with an established local reputation and a 4.3-star online rating. The workshop’s size and layout also suit alternative light-industrial uses or conversion to a multi-bay repair facility, subject to lease terms and consents. There is immediate potential to grow income by broadening services or improving marketing reach.
Buyers should note material local and site factors: the location is in a very deprived, high-crime area and sits within a constrained neighbourhood classification, which may affect staffing and security costs and customer perceptions. The leasehold nature means buyers must check remaining term, ground rent and any landlord restrictions before purchase. Despite these considerations, the combination of equipment-included sale, strong existing customer base and large workable space makes this a practical acquisition for operators prepared to manage local risks.
