1. About Oxford (Cowley) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Located on James Wolfe Road OX4 2PY, Cowley provides eight angled bays; MINI Plant delivery wagons trundle past the gate. ADIs recommend a warm‑up loop through the nearby Kassam Stadium car‑park to shake off nerves.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay parking first. Independent driving generally uses the A4142 Eastern Bypass then the A40 Thornhill interchange—beware bus‑lane plates and 50‑to‑70 jumps. Examiners stage emergency stops on Grenoble Road and check mirror discipline at the Heyford Hill Sainsbury’s roundabout.

3. After You Pass

Digital pass uploads see your licence in a week. Pass Plus via the M40 Wheatley spur and the A34 Hinksey Hill upgrade builds motorway poise.
