Advice on good character requirement please

Hi all.

I wanted to apply for British citizenship but I have a few convictions/offences that may be considered recent.

They are as follows:

September 2021 - 3 points on licence (SP30) for speeding and £100 fine. It was initially 4 points and larger sum I needed to pay but I went to court and disputed it to 3 points and £100.

May 2023 - arrested for assault on my wife (it was a one off situation and I was not in a good place mentally.) I was sentenced to 12 months of probation with regular meetings with my probation offer. I was on probation from May 1st 2023 to May 1st 2024.

September 2024 - 3 points on licence (SP30) for speeding (was testing my brakes as I’d had work done but unfortunately a mobile camera/van caught me speeding like 4mph over).
My licence was cancelled due to 6+ points as a new driver and I was able to immediately apply for a provisional, so it wasn’t a ban or disqualification.

These are all very recent and I was hoping to apply for citizenship around May-June 2026. I know there’s so specific answer in the immigration guidance but from anyone’s personal experience - would this be too early to apply?

Regarding balance of probabilities - I’m doing one on one work regarding healthy relationships and anger management with our children’s social worker. I also did a course on healthy relationships with my probation officer when I was on probation. I am going to sign up to some community volunteering.

Any advice please?
