Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good pass rate for a driving test centre?
The national average practical test pass rate is around 49.7%. Above 55% is generally considered above average. Centres below 40% are typically high-volume urban locations with more demanding test routes.
Does the test centre affect my chances of passing?
Test routes and local road conditions vary between centres. However, examiner marking criteria are standardised nationwide — your preparation and driving ability remain the biggest factors.
Can I choose which driving test centre to use?
Yes. When booking your practical test through the DVSA, you choose your preferred centre. You can book at any centre, not just the nearest one.
How often is this pass rate data updated?
The DVSA publishes updated statistics periodically throughout the year. This site uses the latest available release from the official DVSA open data portal.
Why do some centres show much higher pass rates?
Smaller rural centres — especially in Scotland and Wales — tend to have quieter roads and simpler routes, which results in higher pass rates. Busy urban centres test on complex, high-traffic routes, which is reflected in lower figures.
