Analysis of thousands of DVSA test results reveals the faults that fail most learners. Know what they are before test day.
The DVSA publishes data on the most common driving test faults every year. The same categories appear at the top every time. Understanding these failure points — and specifically why they happen — gives you a measurable advantage on test day.
The single most failed element every year. Emerging from a junction without adequate observation — specifically not looking properly for oncoming traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians. The fix: at every give-way or stop line, physically look right-left-right (or left-right-left if appropriate) before moving. Don't rely on a quick glance.
If you have a test date but want an earlier slot, TestSwap matches you with someone who needs your date.
