Mock Tests in Portswood

FAQ
If you already have a test date, a mock test in the days or weeks beforehand is one of the most effective preparations you can do. It's also ideal if you're deciding whether you're ready to book your test, or if you've failed before and want an honest assessment before paying for another attempt.
Bring your provisional driving licence and glasses or contact lenses if you need them for driving — the same things you'd need on real test day. Your instructor provides the dual-control car, so there's nothing else to organise.
As realistic as we can make it. Your instructor stays silent during the drive except for directions, records faults on the same basis a DVSA examiner would, and includes independent driving. Learners regularly tell us the mock felt harder than the real test at Southampton — which is exactly the point.
Your instructor assesses you against the same criteria a DVSA examiner uses, recording driving faults, serious faults, and dangerous faults. Rather than a simple pass or fail, the debrief tells you whether you would have passed on the day — and exactly what to work on if you wouldn't have.
It's a realistic 1-hour test-style session with a professional My Four Wheels instructor in Portswood. Your instructor acts as the examiner, directing you along a pre-planned route and assessing your driving across the same areas covered in the real DVSA practical test. At the end you get a detailed debrief with honest feedback on your faults and what to practise.
A mock driving test in Portswood costs £62 — deliberately the same as the current weekday DVSA practical test fee, so you get the full mock experience for the same money as the real thing.
