About Morden
Morden is a DVSA driving test centre serving Morden and the surrounding Greater London area. The centre address is 10 Tudor Drive, Morden, SM4 4PE. In 2025/26 it recorded a car practical test pass rate of 49%, against a national average of 50.0%. The figures on this page are drawn from the official DVSA driving test statistics (gov.uk).
Is Morden an easy or hard test centre?
At 49%, Morden’s pass rate is close to the national average. That puts it in the middle of the table of 293 DVSA car test centres – a typical UK test centre. A lower pass rate does not mean the test itself is different; it usually reflects the local road network and traffic conditions examiners route candidates through. Intensive, structured tuition matched to those specific local roads and junctions is the single biggest lever a learner has over their own result here.
How Morden compares nationally
The Morden driving test centre pass rate is 49% for 2025/26, the 124th lowest of the 293 UK test centres tracked by GetMyPass – 1 points below the national average of 50%. Put another way, 49 of every 100 candidates who took a car test here in 2025/26 passed – a result that places the centre in the broad middle of the national table.
The nearest comparable centres GetMyPass tracks are Hornchurch at 49%, Uxbridge at 49% and Erith at 49%, which leaves Morden the strongest of that local group. Rankings like these describe the road network examiners use – Greater London’s junctions, traffic and route mix – rather than any difference in how the test is marked, so treat the table as context for your training plan, not a verdict on your chances.
Waiting times are the other number to plan around at Morden: DVSA figures for May 2026 put the national median wait for a car practical test at 9.7 weeks, with the 10% availability measure at 21.8 weeks (GOV.UK, published 18 June 2026), and London has consistently run the longest waits of any region, averaging around 22 weeks in the London Assembly’s April 2025 analysis. GetMyPass times its intensive courses around Morden so students sit at test standard before the date arrives, so that if an earlier slot appears on the official gov.uk booking system, you are ready to take it.

Test routes around Morden
Morden routes push onto the A24 Bushey Road dual carriageway and the A217 St Helier Avenue before threading through bus-lane corridors and the Morden Hall gyratory – a spiral roundabout that tests lane discipline on every outward leg. A key local feature examiners often route candidates past is Morden Hall gyratory (A24/A297): This spiral gyratory adjoins the test centre and requires early lane commitment and smooth progression across multiple exits, building the spatial awareness examiners look for.

FAQs
What is the pass rate at Morden?
The figure GetMyPass holds for Morden is a 49% car practical test pass rate in 2025/26, measured against the 50% national average. On that number it sits at #170 of the 293 DVSA car test centres with published data, making it a typical UK test centre. The DVSA refreshes these statistics every year, so treat the rate as a snapshot of local difficulty rather than a fixed fact about the centre. What actually moves your own odds is preparation on the road network examiners test on – the junctions, roundabouts and traffic patterns around Morden. That is the gap structured local tuition closes, and it is exactly where a GetMyPass intensive course concentrates your hours before test day.
How do I book a driving test at Morden?
Booking is something you do yourself rather than through GetMyPass: driving tests at Morden are booked directly with the DVSA at gov.uk, and since 12 May 2026 the DVSA has banned third-party scanning and slot-finding apps, making self-booking the only route. Choose Morden as your preferred centre when you apply. A booked test can be moved up to 2 times, and each change needs at least 10 working days’ notice. Fees are set nationally – £62 on weekdays, £75 for evening, weekend or bank holiday slots – and you pay the DVSA directly. What we handle is different: a GetMyPass course times your training so you reach test standard before your date arrives, with honest guidance on realistic waiting times around Morden.
Can GetMyPass help me pass faster at Morden?
GetMyPass can compress the journey, though nobody can promise the result. Our intensive courses around Morden are planned against the road network examiners at Morden actually use – the junctions, roundabouts and traffic conditions that decide most tests here. Training runs day by day with one instructor from first lesson to test day, which keeps progress compounding instead of resetting each week. Since Morden is a typical UK test centre, the course leans into the situations local learners find hardest. The DVSA examiner alone decides who passes, and we make no guarantees about the outcome; what we control is how ready you are when you walk in, and readiness is what a GetMyPass course is engineered to maximise.
Where is Morden located?
Students booking with GetMyPass sit their test at Morden itself, which serves Morden and the wider Greater London area. The centre address is 10 Tudor Drive, Morden, SM4 4PE. Plan the journey in advance: know where you will park, how long the drive takes at that time of day, and where you will wait before the test starts. Candidates travelling from further afield should build in a generous buffer, because rushing in at the last minute is a poor way to start a test. On the day itself, your GetMyPass instructor meets you ahead of the appointment and confirms the route to the centre in advance, so finding the site is never left to chance.
