About this test centre

Llanishen test centre routes cover North Cardiff's mix of the A48 Eastern Avenue dual carriageway and quieter suburban roads around Thornhill and Rhiwbina. Roundabouts feature heavily — the Llanishen area has several in close succession, which is the most commonly cited reason for minor faults here.

Tips for passing at this centre

  • ✓ The cluster of roundabouts near Thornhill needs specific, sequential practice rather than treating each in isolation

  • ✓ Welsh-language test papers are available on request if preferred — ask your instructor about booking this in advance
