About this test centre

If you've got a test booked at KA11 4AH, that's Dreghorn LGV in Dreghorn, North Ayrshire. Examiners drive a mix of the roads immediately surrounding the centre; the DVSA does not publish its test routes. Small sample warning: 775 tests across 2023-24-2024-25. The headline rate on this page is the multi-year aggregate, which is the only version of the number worth trusting at this volume.

Rank: #19 of 124. Pass rate: 75.1%. UK average: 60.2%. That's a top quartile centre by the DVSA's own published figures. First-attempt data for Dreghorn LGV is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

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 Dreghorn LGV

  • With 775 tests on record at Dreghorn LGV, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Dreghorn LGV area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • Don't pay third-party sites for booking access at Dreghorn LGV. Use gov.uk/book-driving-test directly; cancellations show up on the same booking flow.
