This is not a live appointment search. The
forward measure concerns when at least 10% of weekly appointments
are available in the published snapshot. It is not the earliest
slot. Use the official booking service for current appointments.
First-attempt results
These figures describe people recorded as taking their first car test. They are a different test group from the all-attempt results above.
First-attempt pass rate
76.0%

First tests with zero faults
0
Published count for 2025/26. A zero-fault test is a separate measure from passing.
Use the right comparison
A centre’s candidate mix, experience and repeated attempts affect its overall rate. Neither figure measures an individual instructor’s performance or predicts your result.
Assess your readinessThis centre has fewer than 100 published first attempts in this period. A small number of results can move its percentage substantially.
