Test Drive Terms and Conditions
To take a test drive, you must have a full UK driving licence and have no more than either:
- 3 (three) penalty points, which may have been accrued for any conviction; OR
- 6 (six) penalty points in any one, or combination, of the following conviction categories: Speeding (SP), Construction and Use Offences (CU), Pedestrian Crossing (PC) or Traffic Signs/Directions (TS)
Any penalty points/endorsements over and above those listed above mean you will be unable to complete a test drive as a driver. Any endorsements with a conviction date of more than 5 (five) years’ old will not be counted.
For anyone unable to bring their driving licence with them because it is with the DVLA for renewal, we will check licences digitally. To do this please visit the DVLA website (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence) and generate a share code. You must give this code to the test drive booking team for your licence to be checked digitally. You will also need to provide photo ID and sign our standard test drive declaration form.

- All test drives are subject to availability. Motability Operations Limited will endeavour to provide a driver with a vehicle of their choice; however, this may not always be possible. No charge is made for the test drives.
