Motherwell Theory Test Centre
Motherwell Theory Test Centre is one of the main theory venues serving North Lanarkshire, and DVSA follows the same rule here as everywhere else: no address is published in advance, only appearing in your booking confirmation once a slot is reserved through GOV.UK. Learners from Hamilton, Cleland, Forth and Plains regularly make the trip into Motherwell to sit the multiple-choice and hazard perception test, which costs £23 and holds a two-year validity once passed.
Anyone on an LPOD Academy intensive course tends to book this test early, because a pass certificate is a prerequisite for booking a practical test slot with DVSA. Deposits on LPOD’s packages begin at £180 and scale up by course size, quoted as a deposit rather than a total fee, with the rest settled once a start date is fixed. Motherwell and its surrounding towns give learners a solid mix of dual carriageways and town-centre roundabouts to practise on.
The test splits into a 50-question multiple-choice section, needing 43 correct, and a hazard perception section built from video clips and marked out of 75, with 44 as the pass mark. Candidates are usually finished within the hour and get their result straight away. LPOD’s intensive courses are designed so Motherwell learners can sit their theory test early and then move straight into a concentrated block of practical lessons without long gaps between sessions.

Directions To Centre
Drivers should head towards the town centre and follow signs for the Civic Square area, where nearby parking is available close to the centre. Rail passengers can use Motherwell railway station, which sits close enough that the walk from the platform is short. Bus travellers should check local services stopping near Civic Square or the town centre itself, since routes through the area run frequently and leave only a brief walk to the venue.
Arrive with roughly 10 minutes to spare and bring your provisional licence, because DVSA staff will turn away anyone without valid ID. Since 12 May 2026, only the candidate sitting the test is permitted to book or manage their own DVSA practical test appointment, so keep hold of your licence and booking reference for that step. Practical routes around Motherwell bring in roundabouts and residential streets around Civic Square and the wider town centre, all covered inside LPOD’s Silver 30 intensive course and the broader course lineup. Pupils travel in from Hamilton, Cleland, Forth and Plains for local training ahead of testing at Motherwell. See theory test costs and how to pay for the full fee breakdown.
Book through gov.uk directly rather than a third-party reseller charging a mark-up for the same slot. The practical test that follows lasts around 40 minutes and covers an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving and roughly 20 minutes of independent driving, guided either by road signs or a sat-nav.

Why Book With LPOD Academy?
Do I need to pass my theory test before booking an LPOD course?
No, you do not need a theory pass to book a course with us. Many learners sit their theory test early in an intensive week, so it is still fresh once the practical lessons begin.

Yes. We can book your theory test for you as an optional add-on, £60 all in, which includes the £23 DVSA fee.
What does the LPOD theory course cover?
Our in-house online theory course covers all 14 topics, hazard perception and case studies, so you arrive at this centre fully prepared.
