That depends whether a Class 4 or Class 7 MOT is needed. Most smaller MHs are Class 4 - same as a car, but larger ones might be Class 7 which would mean searching out a more specialised MOT station.
In the case of Class 4, car garages may not have hoists rated to lift the weight of even 3500kg MHs apart from not having the headroom so some shopping around could be necessary.

The rules have indeed changed since we had a large MH, DD, and it doesn’t affect me now. However, we have no idea what size MH the OP has. I recall Triky's recent thread about changes which mean large vehicles are now subject to a different classification of test.
I expect the OP will be glad of your pointer towards DVLA👍🏻
