About this test centre

Steeton sits in Steeton, West Yorkshire, just inside the BD20 6SB postcode. It's a DVSA-run hgv/lgv test centre, and the routes from here work outward into the streets and arterial roads that learners from Steeton tend to know already. Sample size: 15.5K tests over 2017-18-2024-25. Enough that comparisons hold up; small enough that a quiet month or a route being temporarily diverted can show in the data.

70.3% at Steeton, against a UK hgv/lgv average of 60.2%. That puts the centre 10.1 points clear of the national figure and ranks it #30 of 124 hgv/lgv centres in the DVSA's network. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Steeton 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 Steeton

  • Don't read a higher pass rate as a softer test. Steeton's rate reflects route geography more than examiner discretion, DVSA marking is centrally trained. Prepare for the same fault categories you'd prepare for anywhere.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Steeton will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
