DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near North Cheam

The closest practical centre to North Cheam is Morden, just over a mile north-east, where pass rates sit a touch below the national average. Most lesson routes work the residential streets around the Sutton and Merton borders, with test-day drives often taking in a mix of suburban roads and short stretches of busier A-road links. Tolworth is around three miles west and posts pass rates a little higher, making it a popular choice when Morden slots are scarce.

Mitcham is roughly four miles east and tends to run at a lower pass rate, so most learners only book it if the other two are fully booked. All three centres sit within easy reach of North Cheam, so your final choice usually depends on slot availability and which routes your lessons have focused on in the weeks leading up to the test.
