Prepare for a practical test at Greenham

This location publishes practical provision for motorcycle module 1 (off-road), motorcycle module 2 (on-road), and 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 Off Buckner Croke Way, Venture West Business Park, New Greenham Park, Newbury, RG19 6HX. 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.

A safer way to plan the day

    Recheck the booking

    Confirm the test category, time, address, and latest authority instructions.

  2. 02

    Inspect the vehicle

    Complete the category-specific roadworthiness, equipment, load, and document checks.

  3. 03

    Report as instructed

  4. 04

    Follow the examiner’s briefing

    The assessment sequence and result process depend on the practical-test category.

The category matters more than the template.

This directory confirms which practical services are published at the location. Your authority guidance and appointment confirmation define the vehicle, document, and assessment rules for the exact test you booked.

Category-safe checklist

  • Confirm that your appointment is for motorcycle module 1 (off-road), motorcycle module 2 (on-road), and lorry and bus.

  • Read the latest official guidance for that category from start to finish.

  • Check every required original document, certificate, and licence entitlement.

  • Inspect the test vehicle, equipment, insurance, and any load or display requirements.

  • Verify the reporting point and arrival instructions before travelling.
