Isleworth (Fleming Way) driving test centre
The Wireless Factory,, Fleming Way, Isleworth, Greater London, TW7 6DB
A swap only works when one of you moves forward and the other moves back, so the date somebody cannot use is worth as much as the date somebody wants. DVSA will exchange the two bookings over the phone, free. What they will not do is put the two of you in touch, and that is the part this page is for. Not ready for your Isleworth (Fleming Way) date?

Centres you can swap with from Isleworth (Fleming Way)
GOV.UK allows a swap with a learner booked at the same centre as you, at one of your three nearest, or at a centre you first booked at. Three nearest is measured by driving distance avoiding motorways, and DVSA publishes the list. A swap moves both learners, so the condition has to hold from each side, and the centres below are the ones that work in both directions from Isleworth (Fleming Way). Anywhere else is refused on the call.

Driving around Isleworth (Fleming Way) before test day
Nobody can give you the examiner's route. DVSA stopped publishing routes in 2010, and four tests in five are led by a sat nav the examiner sets up, so there is no sequence to learn. The roads are a different matter: which roundabout, which multi-lane junction, where the limit changes. Instructors film those, and watching them is the cheapest practice available.
Swaps at Isleworth (Fleming Way), month by month
Most people know the month they need rather than the date. Each of these says how much of that month can still be swapped into under the ten working day rule, and which centres a Isleworth (Fleming Way) booking can move to. DVSA releases slots in a rolling 24-week window, so these are the months anybody can be holding a test in.
Three quick questions
One each on the car safety questions, road signs and warning lights: the parts of the test you can learn off the page. Have a guess, then open the answer.
-
Show me, tell me
Show me how you would open and close the side window. What matters most while you do it?
- Keeping the car under control and your eyes on the road, then closing it again
- Opening it fully so the examiner can see it works
- Stopping the car first
- Using the passenger window switch
Show the answer
Keeping the car under control and your eyes on the road, then closing it again. The "show me" question is asked on the move. Getting it wrong is one driving fault, but you fail if your driving becomes dangerous or potentially dangerous while you do it.
-
Road signs
A direction sign with a green background points along which kind of road?
- A tourist route
- A primary route
- A motorway
- A local road
Show the answer
A primary route. Green backgrounds are primary routes, blue are motorways, white are other roads, and brown point to tourist attractions.
-
Warning lights
An amber warning light comes on. What does amber generally mean?
- Stop immediately in the road
- Something is switched on
- Have it checked soon; you can usually drive on carefully
- The car needs fuel
Show the answer
Have it checked soon; you can usually drive on carefully. Amber is a fault worth checking soon, such as engine management, ABS or tyre pressure. Read the handbook for your car.
Swapping at Isleworth (Fleming Way): questions
Can I swap a test at Isleworth (Fleming Way) for one at another centre?
Only if it is the same centre, one of your three nearest, or a centre you first booked at. A swap moves both learners, so it has to work from each side. From Isleworth (Fleming Way) the list is Southall, Tolworth. Anywhere else is refused on the call.
What is the pass rate at Isleworth (Fleming Way)?
50.4% of car tests at Isleworth (Fleming Way) ended in a pass between April 2025 and March 2026, from 12,687 tests. The national average over the same period was 50%, so Isleworth (Fleming Way) is right about average, ranking 200th of 314 centres in Great Britain. These are DVSA's own published figures and they describe the centre, not you.
Which nearby centre has a better pass rate than Isleworth (Fleming Way)?
Of the centres you can legally move a Isleworth (Fleming Way) test to, Tolworth has the highest pass rate at 53.6%, against 50.4% here. That is a difference in the centre, not a promise about your test, and a swap has to suit the other learner too.
How long is the wait for a driving test at Isleworth (Fleming Way)?
20.9 weeks. That is the median wait between booking and taking a test for people who sat one at Isleworth (Fleming Way) in September 2026, from DVSA's own monthly figures, so half of them waited longer. The national median that month was 12.4 weeks. 4.8% of the slots in DVSA's 24-week booking window here were still free to book. A swap sidesteps that queue entirely, because you are moving into a date another learner has already booked.
How long does it take to find a swap at Isleworth (Fleming Way)?
That depends on how many learners hold a slot here and whether any of them want the opposite of what you want. DVSA runs about 244 car tests a week at Isleworth (Fleming Way), so the pool holding a slot is large. Join the list at the top of this page and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. A three-way chain often resolves faster than waiting for a perfect pair.
Does swapping at Isleworth (Fleming Way) cost anything?
No. You exchange slots rather than rebooking, so you keep your original booking reference and payment. Matching here is free, and DVSA does the swap on the phone at no charge.
How much notice do I need?
At least 10 full working days before whichever of the two tests comes first. Monday to Saturday count as working days; Sundays and public holidays do not, so the real deadline falls earlier than the calendar suggests.
Can my instructor arrange it for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026 only the candidate can book or manage their own test, and that applies to instructors too. Yours can sit next to you while you make the call.
Is this the same as a cancellation app for Isleworth (Fleming Way)?
No. A cancellation app scans the booking service for unclaimed appointments, and since 12 May 2026 learners are not allowed to use services that do that. A swap works the other way round: the date you want is already booked by another learner, the two of you agree to exchange, and you make the call yourself.
Your Isleworth (Fleming Way) date is somebody's dream date
Somewhere there is a learner holding the slot you want, who would rather have yours. Join the list and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. Free, no card, nothing to pay when it works.
