Driving test centres: pass rates
Every car practical test centre in Great Britain with tests in 2025-26, from DVSA's published statistics.
Pass rates are published historical statistics for 2025-26 (financial years, April to March). Great Britain overall: 50.0%. A higher or lower rate doesn't mean a centre's test is easier or harder — candidates differ from place to place. Centres with fewer than 200 tests can swing a lot year to year.
