Your Test Vehicle
|
The vehicle you intend to drive must be legally roadworthy, have a current MOT certificate if over the legally prescribed age and be fully covered by insurance for its present use and for you to drive. The driver will be asked to sign a declaration that the car's insurance is in order. The test will not be conducted if you are unwilling to do this. Hire cars are unlikely to be insured for this purpose.
Your test vehicle should also display a valid tax disc and L-plates (or D-Plates in Wales) to the front and rear. Your vehicle must also have a properly fitted head restraint and a fully functioning seat belt fitted to the front passenger seat, and an additional interior rear-view mirror for suitable use by the examiner. If you overlook any of the above your test will be cancelled and you will lose your test fee.
