Driving test centres by town
Every town with a DVSA car test centre, plus each of the 11 DVSA regions: 303 towns in one A to Z list, drawn from 321 centres. The pass rate beside each name is weighted by the tests each centre conducts rather than averaged across centres, so a town’s busiest centre pulls harder on the figure than its quietest. Rates cover 2025/26, against a national 50.0%. A town with more than one centre can hide a wide gap between them, which its own page sets out alongside waits and the roads examiners use.
