Choosing an appointment

You do not have to check only one centre

Compare practical locations

Appointment availability can vary between DVA centres. If you are prepared to travel, compare several realistic locations before settling for a much later appointment.

Check specialist test services

Ordinary private-car testing is widely available, but specialist vehicle-test categories are not identical at every centre. Check the centre's available services before booking.

PureCar checks this booking information against official DVA / NI Direct guidance. Booking availability, fees and vehicle-test rules can change.
