Paxford Garage is not too far away from you (would make a nice drive out for you at the same time)...they have MOT'ed my mini on several occasions without fault:

ADDRESS
Unit 89,Northwick Business Centre
Blockley
Nr. Moreton-In-Marsh
Gloucestershire
GL56 9RF
CONTACTS
Email: [email protected]
Phone: 01386 700814

OPENING HOURS

And whilst you wait you can go mooch around The Blockley Tyre Co. as they are on the same estate

The Federation of British historical Vehicle clubs have a list of recommended classic car friendly MoT stations

Ellisons look close to you. (Not in Swindon as the address suggests!)

Fantastic, thank you both - really helpful! Will try and get one booked.

Give the mini a nice shake down and free off brakes and get to temperature nicely for emissions..

Good luck and let us know how your car gets on.. good luck...

Had a great drive out to Paxford Garage last week for the MOT - which it passed! - many thanks @cooperd70 for the recommendation. They were great, and pleased to see a Mini too.

 

Discovered the gear box oil seal is clearly the source of my worst oil leak - great to have the car up on a ramp to inspect. That and a new brake hose is all that is required.
