About this test centre

Greenham is in Greenham, West Berkshire and runs DVSA hgv/lgv tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. Over 2017-18-2024-25, 8.3K candidates sat tests here. The figures are statistically usable for centre-to-centre comparisons, which is most of what people land on this page wanting to do.

Out of 124 UK hgv/lgv test centres, Greenham ranks 106, which lands it in the bottom quarter nationally. The 51.6% pass rate is 8.6 points below the UK figure of 60.2%. For Greenham the DVSA suppresses first-attempt figures in DRT122C. Smaller centres get rolled up; this is one of them. The overall pass rate above is the only published figure.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.

What learners should know about Greenham

  • Greenham runs a tougher-than-average pass rate. If you've trained somewhere quieter, take at least 2-3 lessons on Greenham test-area roads before your date. The difficulty is in the road mix, not the marking sheet.
  • Ask any instructor working Greenham about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • Don't pay third-party sites for booking access at Greenham. Use gov.uk/book-driving-test directly; cancellations show up on the same booking flow.
