About this test centre

If you've got a test booked at E4 7BN, that's Chingford in Chingford, Greater London. Examiners drive a mix of the roads immediately surrounding the centre; the DVSA does not publish its test routes. Chingford is a low-volume centre, 112 tests through 2009-10-2009-10. PassRates aggregates the multi-year total because the per-quarter figures are too noisy to draw conclusions from in isolation.

Rank: #120 of 135. Pass rate: 64.3%. UK average: 72.2%. That's a bottom quartile centre by the DVSA's own published figures. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Chingford 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.

What learners should know about Chingford

  • A lower pass rate at Chingford usually means specific local junctions or road types that catch out candidates trained elsewhere. Book local-area familiarisation lessons with an instructor who works this centre, not one who covers a different patch.
  • With 112 tests on record at Chingford, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • Ask any instructor working Chingford about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • Don't pay third-party sites for booking access at Chingford. Use gov.uk/book-driving-test directly; cancellations show up on the same booking flow.
