About this test centre

MT Training (Cheltenham): a DVSA hgv/lgv test centre in Germiston, Glasgow City. Local routes, local traffic patterns, no national standard for what "harder" or "easier" looks like beyond what the numbers below show. Across 2016-17-2024-25 the centre handled 3.9K tests, a modest sample. The aggregated multi-year figure on this page is the most reliable read; quarterly swings deserve more skepticism here than at a high-volume centre.

The upper half of the UK by pass rate: MT Training (Cheltenham) ranks #47 of 124 hgv/lgv centres at 67.1%, 6.9 points clear of the national figure of 60.2%. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for MT Training (Cheltenham) in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

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 MT Training (Cheltenham)

  • Don't read a higher pass rate as a softer test. MT Training (Cheltenham)'s rate reflects route geography more than examiner discretion, DVSA marking is centrally trained. Prepare for the same fault categories you'd prepare for anywhere.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Germiston will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
