All from DVSA's driving test statistics, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Analysis by Driving Mastery; DVSA does not endorse it. A pass rate is not a measure of how hard a test centre is. It reflects who books there and how prepared they are, the mix of automatic and manual tests, and local road conditions, as well as anything about the centre itself. Manual figures are all tests minus automatic tests, which is our arithmetic rather than a DVSA figure. Waiting times are a median over the tests taken that month, not a quoted booking lead time.
