What is a Taxi Medical Test?
A taxi medical test is a health assessment required for anyone who wants to become a taxi driver or renew their taxi license. This ensures you meet the health standards needed to drive safely, protecting both you and your passengers.
During the taxi medical assessment, a GMC-registered doctor will conduct several tests to ensure you meet the necessary standards required by the council you’re applying to.
What’s Included in Your Taxi Medical Exam
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of your taxi medical appointment:
Health History Review
The doctor will inquire about any past medical conditions, surgeries, or ongoing treatments, all of which may impact your ability to drive safely.
Social History
This includes smoking and alcohol intake, which may not directly affect the assessment but helps provide tailored advice to keep drivers healthy and reduce the risk of incidents like heart attack or stroke.
Physical Exam
This checks vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and overall fitness.
Vision Test
Our assessment includes evaluating your eyesight to ensure you meet the Group 2 medical standards for taxi drivers.
Once you pass the taxi medical test, you’ll be ready to apply for or renew your taxi medical certificate and proceed with your application for a Hackney carriage licence or private hire driver medical.

Taxi Medical Test FAQs
How often is a medical test required for taxi drivers?

- Initial Application: A medical examination is required when you first apply to become a taxi driver.
- Age 45: A second medical examination is required when you reach 45 years of age.
- Ages 45-65: Medical examinations are typically required every 3-5 years.
- Age 65 and Over: Annual medical assessments are required.

If you have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes treated with insulin, you will require an annual medical assessment, regardless of your age or general council requirements.
