I Tried To Pass My Mock Driving Test. But THIS Happened!

Join Sian as she takes on a full Mock Driving Test in Llanishen, Cardiff, starting directly outside the Llanishen Driving Test Centre.

This 25-30 minute drive replicates real DVSA Driving test conditions, including pulling up on the left 2–3 times. While this mock driving test doesn’t feature any reversing manoeuvres, the main focus is on driving along an official Cardiff test route, identifying serious and dangerous faults along the way with detailed analysis and commentary. Perfect for learner drivers preparing for their driving test in Cardiff or elsewhere.

📍 Time Stamps:
00:00 – Introduction and briefing on what to expect during a mock driving test
01:10 – Mock test begins: driving starts from Llanishen Driving Test Centre
08:51 – Dangerous clearance fault: Instructor intervenes to prevent contact with other vehicles
10:25 – Dangerous positioning: Incorrect positioning near parked cars can appear as though you’re trying to park
16:35 – Dangerous steering fault: Drifting right on a left turn causes the instructor to take control
18:30 – Repeat steering fault: Learner drifts again when turning left, fails to keep left
22:21 – Serious planning fault: Poor anticipation when entering a roundabout; failing to check if the exit is clear
27:23 – Test ends: Full debrief and discussion of faults and driving performance

⚠️ Test Result and Key Learning Points:

This mock test would have resulted in a fail under DVSA standards due to 5 minor faults and 5 serious/dangerous (medium/high risk) faults. In a real driving test, no more than 3 minor faults should be recorded, and repeated faults in the same area often escalate to serious or dangerous levels.

📌 Top Tips:

Practice consistently in your test area, but don’t rely solely on known driving test routes

Focus on improving your overall road awareness, planning, and vehicle control

Build experience in varied driving conditions to become a confident and safe driver — not just someone who knows the route
