It's a busy centre, with 8,227 car tests taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 48.9%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 12.8 weeks booking on your own. Cardiff (Llanishen) is about 10 miles away and Bristol (Avonmouth) about 13.

If you book at Newport on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 12.8 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
