Enough that comparisons hold up; small enough that a quiet month or a route being temporarily diverted can show in the data.

The bottom quarter of the UK by pass rate: Weedon LGV ranks #114 of 124 hgv/lgv centres at 49.3%, 10.9 points below the national figure of 60.2%.

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 Weedon LGV

  • A lower pass rate at Weedon LGV 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.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Weedon 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.
