DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Faringdon

The closest practical centre to Faringdon is Swindon, around twelve miles south-west along the A420 corridor. Pass rates there sit slightly below the national average, but the routes are straightforward once you've practiced the dual carriageway sections and urban roads around the test area. Most local learners book Swindon as their first choice simply because it's the nearest option and slots tend to be easier to find than at busier centres further east.

Oxford Cowley sits around seventeen miles east and runs at a pass rate closer to the national average, making it a sensible alternative if you're comfortable with the longer drive and busier traffic conditions around the ring road. Newbury is roughly twenty-one miles south-east with a noticeably higher pass rate, so it's worth considering if you want a centre where learners tend to pass more often, though the extra distance means fewer instructors make the trip unless slots are tight elsewhere.
