Your Local DVSA HGV Test Centre
For those undertaking HGV training in London, your practical test will likely be conducted at the Barnet DVSA test centre, conveniently located at Raydean House, 15-17 Western Parade, Barnet, EN5 1AH. This centre currently reports a pass rate of 49%, with an approximate waiting time of around 13 weeks for a test slot. Our expert instructors at GS Driver Training are intimately familiar with the local test routes originating from this Barnet centre, ensuring you are thoroughly prepared for every aspect of your examination.
On test day, candidates can expect a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate their readiness for professional driving. This typically begins with the off-road reversing exercise, where precision and control are paramount. Following this, you will embark on an on-road driving assessment, navigating various traffic conditions and demonstrating your ability to safely handle a large goods vehicle. Throughout the test, you will also be asked a series of safety questions, covering vehicle checks and basic maintenance. Drivers from London choosing GS Driver Training benefit from our tailored approach, which includes extensive practice on these specific test elements.
