About this test centre

Camborne L & LGV is one of the DVSA's hgv/lgv test sites in England, located in Camborne, Cornwall. The choice of routes reflects the local mix of road types rather than any standard national template. Across 2007-08-2010-11 the centre handled 1.3K tests, a modest sample. The aggregated multi-year figure on this page is the most reliable read; quarterly swings deserve more skepticism here than at a high-volume centre.

Camborne L & LGV runs close to the national curve: 57.8% pass rate, 2.4 points below the UK average of 60.2%. The rank is #82 of 124 hgv/lgv centres. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Camborne L & LGV in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.
