Using private car for practical driving test

Terry,

If you want to use your own private car for the driving test, then you may do so. There are however a few vehicles which cannot be used for the driving test for safety reasons. You will a list of affected vehicles here and you should make sure that your car is in good working condition as well before you take it for the test (tax, insurance, mot etc). Remember that a smaller car may be better to do manoeuvres and it is really important that you feel comfortable and not nervous in the car that you'll be sitting your test in to increase the chances of you passing.
