Pass rates and tests for 2025-26; waits for tests taken in July 2026. A dash means DVSA publishes no figure we hold. Distances are straight lines between centres, and only centres with a page here are listed (find them from all test centres), so a centre we have not mapped yet may be nearer. You can book at any centre, but since 9 June 2026 a booked test can only be moved to one of the 3 centres nearest it, or back to the one you first booked (GOV.UK).

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.
