How Can I Word That I Need To Withdraw A Job Interview?

Unfortunately, after looking further into the job I applied for (which I’ve applied for loads and loads willy nilly without looking into the details of each job), it is way, way too far for me to travel to/from. Their website is asking me why I want to withdraw. Does this sound right? 

“Thank you for the opportunity, but with deep regret I will need to withdraw on this occasion due to distance but would very much be interested in similar opportunities closer to home".

I am withdrawing as the location isn’t suitable for me.  I do like the sound of the job but it's best I nip it in the bud as I can't possibly travel to where it is.  At the same time, I don't want it to go against me in the future if I see a similar job advertised closer to home.  

Thank you in advance.

Obviously you need to withdraw your application /decline the  interview offer, but I don't see any need to give a reason. In fact, saying it's too far away makes you look silly or like a time-waster for applying in the first place.

yes that's fine

did you not realise where the location was when you applied for it?

I did Redhelen72, but I only applied to 'test' them to see if my application form passed!  As it's been a while since I applied for jobs and wanted to see if I was 'up to standard'.

They will think you incompetent if they believe you were unable to determine where the job was.

Just tell them you have accepted another job offer
