Prepare for a practical test at Culham LGV
This location publishes practical provision for lorry and bus. Requirements differ substantially between motorcycle, vocational, instructor, trailer, and other specialist tests, so use the exact category on your booking as the source of truth.
Before test day
Confirm the reporting point
The published address is No 1 Site, Abingdon, OX14 3DA. Check the appointment confirmation for the reporting point, arrival time, vehicle area, and any category-specific access instructions before travelling.
Do not infer a car-test reception or candidate parking from the address alone. Specialist tests may start from a different part of the site.
Four checks before the appointment
Use the official guidance for your booked category; a requirement for one vehicle or assessment may not apply to another.
Match the category
Check that the licence entitlement, theory or module prerequisites, and appointment category all match the test you intend to take.
Check the test vehicle
Confirm the vehicle, equipment, insurance, load, display, and examiner-access rules for the specific test category before leaving.
Gather original documents
Follow the booking confirmation and official category guidance. Missing evidence can stop the assessment even when the vehicle is suitable.
Practise the assessed skills
Prepare the manoeuvres, road work, safety checks, or demonstrations listed for your category rather than relying on car-test advice.
