You must take:

• your approved driving instructor (ADI) registration certificate
• a pupil
• a car that meets the requirements

Your pupil

Your pupil can be a:

• partly trained learner
• fully trained learner
• full licence holder

If you bring a partly trained learner, they should be able to drive for 40 minutes without frequently stopping.

Car requirements

The car you use for your standards check must:

• be roadworthy, safe and reliable - this means it鈥檚 less than 3 years old or has a valid MOT certificate
• have working rear seat belts
• be fitted with L plates (or D plates in Wales) if your pupil is a learner

You cannot use:

• a soft-top convertible
• a car with a 2+2 seating arrangement rather than full-size rear seats

Your standards check will be cancelled if your car does not meet the requirements. Another appointment will be booked for you.

Cleaning your car

You should tidy your car before your test. This includes removing any rubbish or unnecessary items from the dashboard, footwells, door pockets, cup holders and seats.

Bad weather

You should call the standards check bookings team as soon as you can on the day of your standards check if there鈥檚 bad weather. Ask to speak to the ADI examiner.

If nobody answers the phone, and the conditions in your area are not looking too bad, it鈥檚 likely that the examiners are:

• checking the local roads to see if driving tests can go ahead
• taking driving tests because the conditions are suitable

However, this is not a guarantee that your standards check will go ahead.

You should tell the standards check bookings team if your check is cancelled - they鈥檒l make a new appointment.

Cars with known safety faults

You cannot use one of the cars shown in the table unless you have proof that it鈥檚 safe. This is because these cars have been recalled for a safety reason.

You must bring the proof that it鈥檚 safe with you when you take your test.

Proof you need to bring to your test

Check if your car is recalled or has been fixed before your test using .

You鈥檒l need your car鈥檚 vehicle identification number (VIN). It鈥檚 usually at the bottom of the windscreen on the driver鈥檚 side.

The examiner will also check this online before your test starts.

If the examiner cannot check online, you鈥檒l need to bring proof that says one of the following:

• the car was recalled and the recall work has been done

• the car was recalled but did not need any work to be done

• the car was not part of the recall

The proof must be either:

• the recall letter or safety notice, stamped by the manufacturer or dealer

• on official or headed notepaper from the manufacturer or a dealer

• a screenshot from the online vehicle recall service
