Pass rate questions
- What is the average driving test pass rate in Great Britain?
- In 2025/26 (April 2025 to March 2026) DVSA conducted 1,998,621 car practical tests and 1,000,043 passed, a national pass rate of 50%.
- Which driving test centres have the lowest pass rates?
- Among centres with at least 300 tests in 2025/26, the lowest pass rates were at Wolverhampton (34.3%), Wednesbury (35%), Barking Tanner Street (36.3%), Featherstone (36.4%), Gateshead (37.5%), Liverpool Norris Green (37.8%).
- Which driving test centres have the highest pass rates?
- Among centres with at least 300 tests in 2025/26, the highest pass rates were at Melton Mowbray (69.7%), Barrow In Furness (69.6%), Dorchester (69%), Arbroath (67.4%), Fort William (65.5%), Kendel Oxenholme Road (65.1%). Small rural centres often post high rates, but they also test far fewer people.
- Which region has the highest pass rate?
- Weighted by tests conducted, South East had the highest pass rate (52.9%) and West Midlands the lowest (46.1%); London centres combined passed 48.6%.
- Can I take my test at a centre with a higher pass rate?
- Yes. You can book a car practical test at any DVSA test centre in Great Britain. A centre with a higher pass rate is not automatically easier for you: you will drive unfamiliar roads, so practise the local routes wherever you book.
