Driving test candidates warned on Vauxhall recalls
Some vehicles are being recalled by Vauxhall and can't be used for driving tests until they've been checked and fixed if necessary.
A vehicle can be recalled by the manufacturer if it has a known safety fault.
There has been a recall of some Vauxhall vehicles because of concerns about steering.

Your test will be cancelled and you could lose your fee if you don’t bring the right proof.
